2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 cup finely diced white or yellow onion

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
Cook macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, peas, ½ cup of the cheddar
cheese, onion, celery, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked macaroni to the tuna mixture and stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Top with ½ cup of cheddar cheese.

Finally, top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Notes

Tuna: Substitute with salmon or canned chicken for a different flavor.

Cream of mushroom soup: Use cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce instead.

Cheddar cheese: Swap for another cheese like Monterey Jack or Colby.

Chips: I used Lay's original potato chips, but you could use any type of potato chip that you like.
