Ok...I am kinds weird about Tuna...I like it but I like it to not be fishy. Drain the tuna and rinse it with fresh water then drain again. Add low fat Mayo to taste. Next add avocado...I like a good amount in mine. It goes great with Pita chips...or in a sandwich of course. It is really good...and if you have Lemon Peper then I highly recommend that also. Or if not avocado then try relish!
Here's one that is tasty- but it's not a very healthy choice.





Tater Crust Tuna Pie


From Country Woman








INGREDIENTS








CRUST:


1 cup flour


1/2 cup mashed potato flakes


1/2 cup butter


3 to 4 tablespoons ice water


1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions, divided





FILLING:


3/4 cup mashed potato flakes


1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided


2 tablespoons chopped stuffed green olives


1 can (6-1/2 ounces) tuna, drained


1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, reduced sodium preferred


1 egg








SERVINGS 6-8





DIRECTIONS


In a medium bowl, combine the flour and potato flakes; cut in butter until crumbly. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is just moist enough to hold together. Press pastry over bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-in. or 10-in. pie plate. Flute edge. Reserve 1/2 cup onions; set aside. Sprinkle remaining onions into pastry shell.





In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients except 1/2 cup of cheese. Spoon tuna filling into pastry crust. Bake at 350掳 for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and onions; bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Throw some cheese, peas, and anything else you have, b/c it's gonna take a lot to mask that fishy taste! haha
Tuna casserole is one of my favorites. You boil some noodles and when they are done drain them and add some tuna and some cream of mushroom soup.





or if you just want the tuna put in a little mayo, a very small amount of mustard and some pickle relish and you can also add boiled eggs and some people even add onions depending on what you like. It's good as a sandwich or on some club crackers.
Have you tried all thosee recipes? Try thos out.


Tuna 1 can, drain, do not wash it. Break them with a fork. Add mayonnaise, little red onion chopped, little green pepper (capsicum), green chili chopped, salt, crushed pepper and diced tomatoes, mix them well. Spread it on a slice of bread or hot dog roll....eat it....and reply to me.
