There are so many things you can buy now that can be microwaved. You can
buy quinoa, rigatoni, instant rice, brown and white, basmadi and jasmine
and even pollenta. Amazing, especially on these hot days when you don't
want to heat up the house.

You could also use canned salmon instead of the tuna.
I didn't know you could do Mac and Cheese this way. I am one of those
people who thinks that the microwave is for reheating leftovers and warming
coffee.

Subject: [CnD] Microwave tuna caserole
My Husband's favorite: I invented this recipe because it uses stuff I can
stock up on and I can make it in a half-hour after a busy day or before a
busy evening.
For a change, try some of those flavored tuna in packets.
1 box Kraft macaroni and cheese
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup hot milk
ΒΌ cup butter
2 cans about 10 oz tuna packed in water
1 pkg highly flavored tuna (2-3 ounces optional)
1 can peas
1 can Pringles or equivalent amount of chips
Microwave the macaroni in 2 cups water in a greased, covered dish for four
minutes. Stir, turn and microwave another 4 minutes. DO NOT drain!
Stir in the sauce packet and hot milk. Stir in the optional butter,
preferably melted.
Add the drained tuna and stir. Add the drained peas and stir.
Crumble the chips in a zip-lock bag. Sprinkle on top and press down.
Microwave now uncovered, for 4 minutes.
Notes: If you use another brand of boxed mac and cheese such as Cracker
barrel, you may need to reduce the liquid, especially if the sauce packet is
gel and not powder.
