you have all of the ingredients for tuna casserole, unless you like some grated cheese on top... one thing i noticed that i would make is take the 2 cans of chcken, mix them with some peas and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup... add a bit of water... maybe buy some mushrooms to add in as well... put in a casserole and sprinkle with the box of stove top, and bake...serve with the instant mashed potatoes... mmmm yummy.
