Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes.
Drain and return macaroni to pot.
Stir 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, and powdered cheese from envelope into the cooked macaroni. Stir cream of mushroom soup, tuna, and 1/2 cup milk into the macaroni and cheese.
Pour macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish; top with Cheddar cheese and parsley.
Mix bread crumbs, melted butter, and dill in a small bowl; sprinkle over Cheddar cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bread crumb topping is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The GEN5 Merlot with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
