  • 2 tablespoons Knorr classic white sauce mix
  • 1 teaspoon celery flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried onion
  • A pinch of garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (added when cooking)

Directions

Make the mix

  • Mix the dry ingredients (from the noodles through the gravy mix) in a bowl, then seal them in a sandwich-size zip-top bag.

To use

  • Heat the oven to 325°F.
  • Lightly grease a mug that holds at least 1 1/2 cups and pour the dry mix into it.
  • Heat the water and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
  • Pour it over the mix and stir well.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the drained tuna and cheese, then bake 6 to 8 minutes more.
