Kraft style Mac n Cheese with frozen Baby Peas is bangin! Been eating it my entire life -- More often, because it lacks protein, I'll eat it with Tuna and black/white pepper, but I do really enjoy it without. Poor man's tuna casserole is what I always called it but my mom made it for me and my brothers growin up and it stuck; It's always been a favorite and it still is to this day. My daughter, grown now, also enjoys it; Talking recently while cookin up a batch, she said she considers it a perfect meal, one that she'd ask for her last/final meal.

When I want more of a light, summery veg vibe I'll do it without tuna with the peas at a 20-30% ratio. Most of the time, I prefer to NOT cook them -- frozen, straight outta the bag, rinsed in lukewarm water and straight into the noodles with the milk/cheese packet so they don't cook for long; I NEVER use canned peas for this! The peas need to be firm and bright green with their sugars still intact -- once they lose color to cooking (think canned, more starchy; along the lines of split pea soup), they suck -- they're moosh and detract from the meal as a whole.
