Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Cook the macaroni shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain well.
  3. In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion, drained tuna, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the tuna mixture.
  5. In another large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, condensed cheddar cheese soup, 2/3 cup milk, prepared mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
  6. Lightly grease a 12x8-inch baking dish. Spread half of the macaroni mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  7. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the macaroni layer.
  8. Top with the remaining macaroni mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese topping is melted and lightly browned.
