  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>My Mom&#8217;s friend shared this recipe with us, and it was love at first bite.  This gooey, cheesy casserole has remained my family&#8217;s favorite comfort food.  It&#8217;s very fast, very easy, and very economical.  I always have the ingredients on hand: boxed mac n cheese, canned tuna, canned cheddar cheese soup, and some saltines on top.  Mom always served it with green peas.</p>]]>
