Stovetop Southwest Tuna Mac And Cheese
  1. First boil the noodles until al dente, according to the directions on the package. Once done cooking, drain and set aside.

  2. While the noodles are boiling, make a slurry: In a large oven safe skillet or pot add butter and garlic. Once butter is melted, whisk in the flour and onion powder and cook for 30 seconds until a paste forms. Slowly add in cashew milk, whisking away any lumps.

  3. Increase heat and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring every so often, until the sauce thickens up similar to a gravy

  4. Next add in 6 oz cheese and 1 packet of taco seasoning and stir until completely melted.

  5. Finally fold in cooked noodles, black beans and drained tuna and mix until well combined.

  6. Top with 2 ounces of shredded cheddar. At this point you can either serve the mac and cheese and just fold in the extra cheddar you just added, or remove from heat and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Serves 6. Top with cilantro and hot sauce if desired!
