      1 c  Sharp cheddar cheese;
           -shredded, divided
      2 sl Bread; buttered and cubed

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cook macaroni until tender, drain. Melt
  butter in same pot, add onions and green pepper and saute over low
  heat 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper and stir to blend well.
  Add milk and mushroom soup and stir over low heat until smooth. Add
  macaroni, flaked tuna, peas and 1/2 the cheese to sauce and stir to
  blend well. Pour into 2-quart buttered casserole, top with remaining
  cheese. Top cheese with 2 slices battered day-old bread cut in cubes,
  and sprinkle bread with paprika generously. Bake at 350 degrees for
  35 minutes, or until nice and brown. This casserole reheats easily
  over low heat in saucepan, or in microwave at 50%.  Like most
  casseroles, it tastes even better reheated.
