Macaroni and Cheese with Tuna

Classic elbow macaroni becomes a nutritional powerhouse with the addition of tuna.

2 cups elbow macaroni
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 can spring water packed tuna
1 small grated onion (or to taste)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 thick slices Italian bread, crusts removed, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
Salt and freshly milled pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk, heated

Method

Heat oven to 350°F. Butter a 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Set aside.

Melt butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl with the cheese, salt, pepper and onion to taste.

Cook macaroni according to package directions and drain. Place in the lightly buttered baking dish. Mix in cheese mixture, being sure to distribute evenly.

Break up tuna and mix into macaroni. Mix in bread pieces.

Beat eggs and milk together, then pour over macaroni, stirring to combine well. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Bake in preheated 350° oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.
