Tuna Cakes

I got this one from KraftFoods.com.

Ingredients:
2 cans (5oz each) tuna in water, drained, flaked
1 pkg stuffing mix for chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup water
1 carrot shredded
1/3 cup miracle whip dressing
2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish

Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate 10 minutes.

Heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup portions of tuna mixture, in batches, to skillet.

Flatten into patties with back of spatula. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

My Two Cents Worth:

• I did not put in carrots and did not miss it.
• This was good and we will do it again.
• My one year old, Justus, LOVED this and begged for MORE MORE MORE.
• Makes a lot.
  

Lu's Tuna Noodle Casserole

I got this one from Recipezaar!

Ingredients:
2 (7.25 oz) boxes of macaroni and cheese dinner mix
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1 (10.75 oz) can of cream of chicken soup
1 (6 oz) can of tuna, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook both boxes of Mac and Cheese noodles only.
Drain noodles.
Slice 6 tablespoons of butter into 6 separate pats and place in 9x13 baking dish.
Add drained noodles, cheese sauce mix, and milk to baking dish. Stir well.
Add soup. Stir well.
Add tuna and 1/2 cup cheese. Stir well.
Top with 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

My 2 cents worth on this:

• This was yummmy and inexpensive.
• Hannah, my 2 year old, asked for more.
• Makes lots. Enough for all of us to have it for lunch the next day.
• I am not sure why you can not add the sauce mix packet, milk, and butter to noodles like you are making mac and cheese. I think it would be easier to stir that way??
