Stove Top Tuna Mac and Cheese

I took the picture of this while it was still really really hot - so the cheese looks a bit soupy, BUT, don't let that fool you - this is one of the best mac and cheese recipes I've made - at least according to Chris!

I think you all know my love for mac and cheese at this point.  I'm hooked on using the evaporated milk instead of regular milk, too.  It just tends to give the mac and cheese an even creamier texture.  No chance of it getting gritty, which can happen if you let a milk/cheese combo boil.  This is definitely not a healthy meal...but sometimes you need to throw healthy out the window for one night!!
