• Drain it thoroughly and add the butter, stirring until it melts, set aside.
• Combine the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl and beat them lightly.
• Add the onion, tuna, olives and bread crumbs and mix well.
• In a large saucepan combine the milk, salt, dry mustard and horseradish.
• Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add the cheese and stir just until it starts to melt, then pour it into the tuna mixture in the bowl.

BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk the 3 eggs. Add the remaining ingredients to combine. Poor into a greased pan (I use either a bread pan or a 9x13 pan.) Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Take off the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Cut and serve.
• You can also use seasoned bread crumbs and add onions or onion powder, garlic powder and/or ham. Sometimes I put the macaroni and a bowl with water and microwave for about 5 minutes - just to soften them a bit more. Yum! My husband swears this tastes better the next day - so he's happy to have leftovers -- .
