Cheesy Tuna Shell Casserole

Update 2/2/13: One of my all-time favorite recipes that is my own. I crave this all the time! Recently we tried this good ole favorite with homemade cream of celery soup, so I got a couple new pictures. It was incredible with homemade. I also used sharp cheddar, which I highly recommend.
Cheesy Tuna Shell Casserole - ordinary, but in an extra kind of way! #tuna #recipe



What you need:
  • 1 to 2 cans of tuna, in water
  • 1 can cream of celery soup (has to be celery - trust me, I picked up chicken on accident)
  • Medium shells (about 2/3 a 1 lb. box)
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Peas (optional, I omit it most of the time because my kids and husband don't really like peas)
Directions:
Boil some water and cook pasta according to directions.
Drain tuna in can OR in colander.
If you do drain it in the colander, sometimes it helps to squish it with your hand.
Drain pasta (tuna can stay put, not a biggie).
Put pasta and tuna into saucepan, add soup and mix well.
Add cup of cheese and mix well.
If your family likes peas, mix peas in after cheese. If not, serve on the side :)
 Again, important parts to this meal - CREAM OF CELERY SOUP and SHELL PASTA! I will never go back to elbow macaroni or egg noodles. I also highly recommend Rhodes dinner rolls. They are frozen, near the frozen garlic bread in the grocery store.
