Get out the casserole dish, we're making Tuna Casserole today! I love this recipe, it's full of veggies and the kids love it. The key to this recipe is the right mac n cheese, tuna – of course – peas and onions. You can mix in a whole variety of other veggies depending on what your family likes.

Add more veggies: You can add all kinds of veggies to this casserole. Carrots are another favorite of ours. If you use fresh veggies, make sure to pre-cook the more firm vegetables so they are a little less crunchy when mixed in the casserole.
