Quick and Easy Tuna Chicken Macaroni

Submitted by graniteangel

"This is a dish I whipped together for my fiance. I wanted to make sure he had something yummy and quick to heat up. It turned out very good and maybe even a little TOO rich! Done almost as soon as it takes to cook pasta. The time is probably less, just depends on how long it takes you to chop the veggies."

This was very tasty. Ommitted the seasonings (didn't have any) and swapped the chicken soup for mushroom. I know, I know..... I shouldn't really be rating this when I didn't make it too the recipe. But, it was really quite good. All the kids asked for seconds which was a shame as there wasnt any :-(. Next time I will double up for sure. Thanks Angela Dawn. ps. just remembered I didn't add the 1/2 cup of milk but it wasn't missed!
