Ask any college student in Canada, that cooks their own meals, what they have in their cupboard… No doubt, you already know the answer – KD. Kraft Dinner is the college staple. Back in the day, when I was a college student I soon got bored with the basic KD recipe and started to get a little more creative in the kitchen. I happened upon this practical and delicious tuna casserole recipe that used ingredients that I had on hand and it has been a comfort food for me ever since.
