I did make some changes though. I didn't make the mac and cheese as directed before adding the other ingredients. I cooked the noodles and then after draining, I returned the noodles to the pot with about a half cup each of diced celery and onion. I sprinkled the powdered cheese over the mixture and then used a half cup of buttermilk to dissolve the powdered cheese. Also, I mixed in the shredded cheddar instead of topping the casserole with it. Then, about ten minutes before serving I topped it with crushed potato chips because I think any casserole is better with a crunchy top!

It says, \"Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions\". Well, the package says to use 1\/4 cup of milk, and also margarine. Yet margarine is not in the list of ingredients in the recipe! So, do I add margarine an additional 1\/4 cup of milk? I decided not to. Luckily, it turned out well.Response to MiMi: Thanks. That might be an outdated way of doing things now. Most online recipes, including TOH, have an option to add the ingredients to your shopping list. If additional items are on the box, but not in the recipe, they would not get added to the shopping list. It worked out for this particular recipe, but there are other TOH recipes that could easily be ruined.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"7902","romance_copy_dek":"This dish is so easy to fix, and the flavor is better than any tuna helper I've ever tried.

I made this dish frequently while my kids were growing up-- it's SO kid-friendly! I have always doubled the amount of tuna called for in ANY tuna recipe to make sure there was enough protein per person served and this dish was no exception. 1 6-oz. can is hardly enough for 2 folks, let alone 4. I enjoyed the cream of celery flavor--a nice change from the cream of chicken or mushroom that is more prevalent.

@ Alfoa - Whenever a recipe says to prepare according to package directions, it means to use the ingredients on the package and prepare like the box says to. The recipe usually does NOT include those ingredients or measurements, unless it specifically says so. So, in this case, you would use 1\/4 cup milk, margarine, and the 1\/2 cup milk called for in this recipe ingredients list. With this particular recipe, it wouldn't matter..you can make with a little less milk (even substitute evaporated milk or half-n-half) or no butter, use cream of celery, chicken, or mushroom soup. It will taste slightly different with each change, but still be delicious!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"10\/20\/2015 22:03","GUID":"827004ce494248c3b4023e5dc07e9690","MemberId":8019335,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"MimiFL4","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2015 21:36"},{"Comment":"

I decided to try this recipe because my daughters love mac and cheese, and I think I enjoyed it more than they did! I prepared the mac and cheese as I normally would (using the ingredients on the box), accidentally used 98% fat-free cream of celery soup (we couldn't tell), 1 1\/2 cups of frozen peas and then sprinkled crushed baked potato chips and about 1\/4 cup of cheese on the top in lieu of the full cup of cheese.

This is the third recipe I have made from Taste Recipes with incomplete or incorrect instructions. It says, \"Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions\". Well, the package says to use 1\/4 cup of milk, and also margarine. Yet margarine is not in the list of ingredients in the recipe! So, do I add margarine an additional 1\/4 cup of milk? I decided not to. Luckily, it turned out well.<\/p>

Response to MiMi: Thanks. That might be an outdated way of doing things now. Most online recipes, including TOH, have an option to add the ingredients to your shopping list. If additional items are on the box, but not in the recipe, they would not get added to the shopping list. It worked out for this particular recipe, but there are other TOH recipes that could easily be ruined.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"01\/10\/2016 04:57","GUID":"c4404f2f8eed489485a2e279de1103dd","MemberId":2078080,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"alfoa","SubmittedDate":"12\/12\/2014 16:22"},{"Comment":"

With Lent underway, I am always looking for new recipes. I made this tonight, was very yummy. I will admit that I used some improvising though.

Been in a dinner rut lately and needed some inspiration...made this with some modifications. Used the boxed mac n cheese but didn't have the cream of celery so I made a cup of white sauce and threw in some diced celery and a sprinkle of celery seed. Also added 2 chopped hard bolied eggs some diced onion and mixed a handful of shredded cheddar into noodle and tuna mix. Topped with crumbled potato chips. Yummo! Add-ins are endless.

This was a nice change of pace from my typical tuna casserole. I did make some changes though. I didn't make the mac and cheese as directed before adding the other ingredients. I cooked the noodles and then after draining, I returned the noodles to the pot with about a half cup each of diced celery and onion. I sprinkled the powdered cheese over the mixture and then used a half cup of buttermilk to dissolve the powdered cheese. Also, I mixed in the shredded cheddar instead of topping the casserole with it. Then, about ten minutes before serving I topped it with crushed potato chips because I think any casserole is better with a crunchy top! The results were very creamy and delicious.<\/p>","CommentId":29,"DateRated":"03\/28\/2013 19:20","GUID":"671c450b7d5d4d528118356dc1a324a5","MemberId":7203083,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"meealice","SubmittedDate":"03\/28\/2013 19:20"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":30,"DateRated":"03\/07\/2013 11:56","GUID":"2857DFB4BD41441B9EC49F93C439626B","MemberId":517980,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"krucook","SubmittedDate":"03\/07\/2013 11:56"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":31,"DateRated":"02\/13\/2013 10:14","GUID":"ad0d5ff283df485285166d0bf491d506","MemberId":6626451,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Mosimama","SubmittedDate":"02\/13\/2013 10:14"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":32,"DateRated":"12\/15\/2012 14:57","GUID":"266aac9d267b4c42baac81edf1872696","MemberId":7038264,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bdjinspire85@yahoo.com","SubmittedDate":"12\/15\/2012 14:57"},{"Comment":"
