Mac "n" Cheese Product w/ Tuna and Corn :) ($.59 per person)

My mac "n" cheese product is what I made to win my husband over! When we got together, he was what I called health food freak. So, when I mentioned to him about my special mac "n"cheese and its ingredients, I got this, "Velveeta is not cheese, it is a cheese product." with a look of disgust. However, his attitude totally changed after he ate some :) From that point on, my mac "n" cheese has been referred to as my mac "n" cheese product.

I have always been single mother of two and usually worked two jobs, prior to marrying Stephen. So, I have always cooked on a budget and usually made meals that were convenient. Not all my meals are healthy, but I try to squeeze in something healthy when I can (whole wheat pasta, etc)

By the way, this recipe is doubled because we anticipate another snow day tomorrow so we can have left overs for lunch :)

Ingredients to buy:

2 boxes of Great Value Whole Wheat Elbows - $1.00 each = $2.00

3 cans of Bumble Bee Tuna - $1.00 each = $3.00

1/2 box of Velveeta Cheese made with 2% milk - $4.98 so half would be $2.49

3 cans Great Value Corn - $.67 each = $2.01

Pantry Items:

1/2 stick of butter or margarine

2 cups of milk

salt and pepper
