Quick tuna “casserole”:

Nuke a package of Stouffer’s mac & cheese about halfway (6-ish minutes) until you can stir it.

Stir in a SMALL can or one of those envelopes of tuna.

Stir in some frozen veggies-- frozen mixed veggies if you have them, or just peas, or corn, or some combo.

Nuke the rest of the way (another 6-ish minutes).

I also thought I was done with tuna once, but it turned out it was just the Kirkland brand (costco.) I swear there is a tiny whiff of cadaverine in every can.

As for tuna casserole, here is mine, easy comfort food:  
1 box cheap mac-n-cheese  
Cream/butter as package directs  
1 can tuna (drained and flaked)  
1/4 tsp dried basil  
1 can diced tomato (drained)  
1 small onion

Preheat oven to 450F  
Boil the noodles in an oven-safe pan.  
In a frying pan, lightly sauté the onions in a touch of butter. When they are just translucent, add the tomatoes and basil. Salt and pepper to taste.  
Combine all remaining ingredients (including sauce packet, and cream/butter as package directs) and stir.

Move to oven and leave at 450F until the top browns.

I’m kind of indifferent to tuna (I used to hate as a kid), but I really like this Rio Mare corn & tuna salad. It’s great for a snack on a hike.
