Easy Tuna Casserole

I haven't been posting many recipes recently because we haven't been on much of a regular eating routine here lately with all the sickness and a lot of other things going on. We've had a lot of boxed mac and cheese and hot dog type meals lately. So I was very excited tonight to make something new - Easy Tuna Casserole, a great recipe I found on AllRecipes. I added an extra cup of pasta, because 3 just didn't look like enough, but we had tons leftover so I probably would stick to 3 cups next time. I also threw in half of a bag of frozen peas.

INGREDIENTS:

* 3 cups cooked macaroni
* 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
* 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
* 1 1/2 cups French fried onions

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the macaroni, tuna, and soup. Mix well, and then top with cheese.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle with fried onions, and bake for another 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Chicken Melt

I am always looking for different things to try at lunchtime other than the usual peanut butter and jelly. Today we made chicken melts that were so delicious and very easy.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 can chicken breast (or tuna)

* 1/4 cup mayo

* 4 slices bread

* 1 tomato

* colby-jack cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Drain the can of chicken and mix together with mayo in a small bowl. Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Layer the chicken mixture on top of each slice of bread. Add a tomato slice and top with cheese. Broil on high for 3-5 min or until cheese is melted and bread is slightly toasted.
