Creamy Tuna and Shells Casserole

This was SOOOO good, I'm not a huge Tuna fan, and I've tried Tuna Casseroles before and never liked any of them. Also the mayonnaise kind of threw me off and I almost didn't add
it at the end because of how moist the recipe was, But I threw it in anyway and it was delicious in there!!! Everyone here loved it!
