me and my boyfriend loved it. i cooked the noddles and added all the ingredients and lined a pan with some partially cooked tater tots with red peppers, hot peppers, and green peppers on top of the tater tots and than i added the tuna Tuesday and baked it for 20 minutes it was great!

Made this for a quick dinner the other night when I wasn't sure when my kid would be getting home. After I whipped it up, I put it in a greased casserole dish, sprnkled a little Parmesan and shredded cheddar cheese on it and put it in the oven on low heat. Turned out great, and the kid loved it, since she loves tuna and mac & cheese. We liked it too. Thanks for a quick, easy, and tasty recipe.

Yum! This one gets 5 stars for its combination of easy prep (about 20 minutes!) and yumminess. I only added about 1/2 t of garlic, but I'm glad it was in there as it really added a nice touch. I also added about 3 c frozen broccoli when boiling the noodles. This will definitely be a "go to" recipe for us. Thanks for posting!!
