Quick Tuna Bake
This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. This recipe sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.

Notes
I will say low cost as you can use 3 cups of of your homemade mac & cheese in this recipe instead of the much higher cost of the boxed (imported) version. You could even use 3 cups of leftover mac & cheese from another meal.
