Comfort food my entire family enjoys, but quick and easy enough to throw together when I get home from work. When my daughters were growing up, I had to double if I wanted to have leftovers.

How To Make thesa's really easy tuna cassarole

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Start the water to boil. While the water is ramping up to a fast boil, open canned tuna and drain well.
  • 2
    Cook Shells and Cheese per directions. I try to drain the pasta when still slightly firm, since the pasta will also be baked.
  • 3
    Once shells are drained, return to the cooking pan. Add the cheese packet and drained tuna, and mix well. Put mixture into an ovenproof 2 quart casserole. I think a round deep one gives better results than a shallow casserole dish, although it works in either.
  • 4
    Top with crushed crackers, pop in oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or until crackers have browned lightly.
