Make a box of macaroni of cheese as normal. At the same time, heat up a can of cream of mushroom soup.

When both are done, mix together and add a can of tuna. Tasty stuff!

That actually sounds quite decent. Especially if you're on a budget. Like shoestring college male budget.

Yup, total cost was about $2. Fairly nutritional, and decent amount of calories.

It sounds nasty. But it could be good. Alas, I can't really fathom eating tuna out of a can.

Tuna gets added in. Trust me, I was a little nervous mixing it all together. But the end product turned out just fine.

I'm a pretty big fan of mac & cheese like normal, with a can of drained diced tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and baked in a casserole dish for ~15 minutes.

god, now I'm hungry :( dinner tonight was yogurt with pineapple.

Hamburger Mac is good too, but to add a little zing I like to use sour cream and or shredded cheese... or salsa, that is good too
