4 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon butter
0.5 cups milk
0.5 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed in a small bowl with 1/2 tablespoon water
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked al dente according to package
4 ounces (one small can) of tuna, drained well
0.25 cups french-fried onions (optional)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
On medium-low heat, saute the celery in the butter for 15 minutes, stirring often. The celery should become somewhat translucent and shrink slightly. Add the milk and bring to barely simmering; stir in the cornstarch and water mixture. This should thicken it slightly. Stir, not letting it go above a simmer, for 30 seconds.
3
Stir in the cheddar cheese. Stir in the macaroni and tuna until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
4
Pour into a casserole dish and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle on the french-fried onions, and cook for another 5 minutes.
