EASY MACARONI TUNA CASSEROLE

This dish is super easy. It is also a very hearty delicious bowl of comfort food. The guys in my house loved it. I loved this recipe but I used cream of mushroom soup and added the cheese into the casserole. I also melted butter and added bread crumbs to the top before baking, then sprinkle top lightly with dill seasoning. The resulting casserole was very creamy and flavorful.

SOUTHERN TUNA MACARONI SALAD

Creamy from eggs and mayonnaise, tangy and acidic from mustard, pickles and chow chow, with a nice crunch from celery and onion. The Cajun spice just rounds it out with a blend of spices, the pimentos add a pop of color and sweetness, and tuna complements and ties all the flavors together in this Southern macaroni salad. Could top with some parsley for added color! Put this in a tortilla or melt some cheese on toast and make an open-faced sandwich!

GRANDMA GRACE'S MACARONI SALAD WITH TUNA

I don't know where my mother learned to make this macaroni salad, but it is a multi generation family favorite. And it is so simple! The only family get togethers where we don't make this are Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think my father would dis-own my sister and me if one of us didn't make it for Easter! It always disappears when taken to pot-lucks and picnics. There is no mustard in it, and it is the only macaroni salad my dad will eat. My mom used to use regular tuna packed in oil, but I now use solid white albacore packed in water, whole wheat pasta and canola oil mayo in an effort to "lighten it up". Prep time includes 2 hours cool time.

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to package directions for al dente doneness.
  • Drain and immediately plunge into very cold water to stop any further cooking.
  • Drain the tuna, and coarsely crumble into the drained and cooled macaroni.
  • Gently stir in about 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise.
  • Add the pickles, celery and dried dill.
  • Stir again gently adding more mayonnaise until desired coverage is achieved. (I don't like it dry, but it shouldn't be "soupy").
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, again gently stirring inches.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • If the salad looks a bit dry, you can add a bit more mayonnaise right before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and sliced eggs if using.
