De-lightful Tuna Casserole (Cheesy name, good food)

Tues. 3/10/09:

This turned out very good and it was super easy. Got a big thumbs-up from the folks too (they are my guinea pigs). It is from an edition of Taste of Home's 'Healthy Cooking', February 2009.

1 package (7 oz) elbow macaroni
1 can reduced-fat condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (I used canned)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 cup fat-free milk
1 can (6 oz) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
2 tablespoons diced pimientos
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt (I omitted this)
1/3 cup crushed cornflakes (I used Cheerios b/c that's what I had)

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the soup, mushrooms, cheese, milk, tuna, pimientos, onion, mustard, and salt. Drain macaroni; add to tuna mixture and mix well. Simultaneously fend off kitties who are madly begging for tuna.

2. Transfer to a 2-qt baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until bubbly.
