An interesting addition to classic tuna macaroni and cheese

Tweet

Awhile back I was preparing classic tuna mac and cheese. And, for some reason, the dish seemed bland and boring. So, I started searching around in the cabinet for something interesting that could be added. That's when I stumbled across my secret ingredient. For years, I have heard other women talking about their famous secret ingredient, and until now, I have never had one of my own. But, this secret ingredient beats them all! Or, at least my family thought it did. Add one to two tablespoons collard greens to cooked tuna mac and cheese. Just be sure to use canned collard greens, with added jalepenos or spices. Otherwise you won't get the same results. You would think that it would make the tuna mac taste really bad, but it didn't. For some reason, the collard greens took the dish from plain Jane to really sophisticated without much extra effort at all. It was so good, that I made the dish three nights in a row! When I find something I like, I tend to make lots of it. And, my spouse, who doesn't ordinarily like to eat green vegetables ate two entire bowls! Now that's an accomplishment worth bragging about. Just wanted to pass this tip along, just in case you would like to use it. (Also, I used lots of dried onion spice, garlic powder and American cheese in my tuna mac). Let me know if you try it out. I'd love to hear what your family thinks of it.
