Great healthy snack for kids! Tuna Mac-N-Cheese cupcakes




I had a half a box of macaroni and cheese and a can of tuna....these little cakes are perfect for on the go snacks or good lunch packers...for adults and kids alike :)

Preheat oven to 350
You need:

1 box of macaroni and cheese

1 can tuna (in water)

splash of milk (Whatever kind you use, I used skim)

1/2 cup bread crumbs (plain, seasoned, or homemade)

Cooking spray

cupcake pan

Make macaroni and cheese as directed on box (

Drain noodles, add milk, cheese and one can drained tuna and mix in pot that you boiled noodles in (if you want to add a tablesppon of butter do so here if fat content is not an issue)

Spray cupcake pan with cooking spray and coat each cup with breadcrums dumping excess breadcrumbs

Place mac and cheese mixture into each tin and pack in with spoon

Place in oven and bake for 12-15 mintues...if you want a crispy crust on yop spray a little cooking spray on top of cakes before you bake them (or put a dab of real butter if fat content is not an issue)

Let cool so cakes can set

Rim each cake with a knife to assist each cake out to keep shape and serve
