Instructions:
- Start by placing the macaroni from the box into a Microwave Popcorn maker – I recommend the Anchor Hocking model.
- Add approximately 2 cups of water, ensuring the noodles are fully submerged. Cook the noodles on high for 10 minutes or until they reach a tender consistency, then drain.
- Return the drained noodles to the microwave-safe container, and add in the butter or margarine, the contents of the cheese package, the entire can of cream of mushroom soup (without adding water), the lemon juice, and the entire can of tuna.
- Heat the mixture on high for 1 minute or until it’s piping hot and ready to be enjoyed.
