Ingredients:

Serving

2 (7 1/2 oz) boxes macaroni and cheese mix
1/2 cup butter (not spread or tub product) or 1/2 cup margarine ( not spread or tub product)
1/2 cup milk
2 (6 oz) cans tuna in water, drained
1 (14 oz) can peas, drained
1 (14 oz) can corn, drained
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, divided
breadcrumbs, for topping

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Cook macaroni and cheese according to package directions (I usually boil noodles for 6 minutes because casserole will bake a bit more in oven).
I also add a little more milk to the mac and cheese so there is enough cheesy sauce to coat everything.
After thoroughly mixing noodles with the cheese, add peas corn.
Break the tuna up a bit with a fork so there aren't too many huge chunks and add it as well.
Toss in half of the shredded cheese and mix well.
Spoon into a large baking dish.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs to taste.
Heat in oven for about 20-25 minutes.
