Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in macaroni from the box and cook for 7 minutes. Drain macaroni, then rinse under cold water and drain again. Set cheese sauce packet aside. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Melt butter in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and cheese sauce packet; mix well. Stir in condensed soup and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Combine drained macaroni, peas, and tuna in a bowl. Fold in the cheesy soup mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, then sprinkle French-fried onions over top. Bake until onions are brown and cheese is melted, another 5 minutes.

For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of lower-fat varieties.
Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cheese sauce for extra depth.
If you prefer a less creamy casserole, use less condensed soup.
For a golden-brown, extra-crispy topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
