Ingredients

2 cups elbow macaroni
1 pound cheese melt (Velveeta)
1/4 cup milk
1 Tablespoon butter
2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 ounces tuna, packed in oil

Instructions

Cook elbow macaroni in a medium saucepan according to package directions.
Drain water; add the pasta back to the saucepan.
Cube cheese melt (Velveeta), and add to the macaroni. Add milk. Over medium-low heat, stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted.
Add butter, garlic salt and black pepper and stir until butter is melted.
Add undrained tuna, and stir. Serve hot.

Notes

This tuna mac and cheese recipe calls for elbow macaroni, but any pasta will do. Cook according to package directions.
You could make this cheesy tuna mac a complete meal by adding frozen peas. Add them at the same step as the tuna, and they will cook quickly.
A fun change-up would be using white cheese melt (queso blanco).
Stovetop tuna mac calls for tuna packed in oil. You could absolutely use solid albacore tuna or tuna packed in water. I would drain any tuna packed in water first.
