Casserole and a Salad

Image via Wikipedia To reduce the time you spend cooking, you might prepare two dishes at the same time and save one for later.  This also reduces waste.  From one 5 oz. can of tuna, you can create a casserole for one and Tuna Salad.

Cook 2oz. any shape of macaroni.  Drain the water from the cooked pasta and add 1/2 can of undiluted cream soup, celery, mushroom, or chicken.  Add 1/2 can of the tuna.  Stir and place in a oven proof dish.  Top with shredded cheese.  Bake in a hot oven for ten minutes. 

Place one egg in a small boiler and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and cover with a lid.  Mash the 1/2 can of tuna in a small bowl.  Add chopped onion to taste, 2 tablespoons of pickle relish, the chopped egg when it is done, and 1 tablespoon of Miracle Whip or dressing.  Store in a covered container in the fridge.  Serve with crackers or bread or in a lettuce leaf with a slice of tomato.

Place the extra 1/2 can of soup in a covered container for later use--a cup of soup or another casserole.
