Tuna Bake for Freezing
Cook elbow macaroni to al dente and drain. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and mix well. Slowly add the cream to the butter mixture, stirring as you pour. Bring to just under a broil, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add salt, pepper, cheese and mustard. Continue to stir until all of the cheese is melted. Gently stir in macaroni and tuna and remove from heat to cool. Freeze in a freezer bag. Or if using the same day, add milk, crushed cornflakes and butter as indicated below.
Reheating Instructions; Defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Grease a large baking dish and put tuna mixture in it. Add milk as needed to reach a creamy consistency. Cover the casserole with crushed cornflakes and pour the melted butter over the cornflakes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
