This Tuna Skillet Supper recipe is total comfort food, but healthy.  Yeah… no joke.  The only “bad” thing in this twist on a tuna noodle casserole is the pasta… but you could easily swap out whole-grain or wheat pasta.  I always double this one so there is leftovers for lunch during the week.  Enjoy!
