Tuna Recipes?

Is there anything else i can do with chunk light tuna (in water) in a can? I'm sick of just mixing it with mayo and having a sandwich. Can't you make a kind of tuna burger out of it? Tuna salads are also out of the question. Thank you all in advanceTuna Recipes?
I like mine fried.





1 OR 2 cans tuna drain water off


Put in a bowel


add a egg


Cut up a sm onion


8 crumbled up crackers





Spray frying pan and brown on each side.Tuna Recipes?
You said no tuna salad but how about a pasta salad? My fave pasta salad is any short pasta ( I like fusilli or shells) tossed with drained canned tuna, black olives, cherry or grape tomatoes (cut in half), feta cheese or parmasan cheese (I prefer parm but my mom prefers feta), salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. It is delish straight away but I prefer it after it has been refrigerated a little bit. Yummy!





Another idea is the good old classic tuna noodle casserole. Here's an easy way to do it. Toss together cooked drained egg noodles, drained canned tuna, a can of cream of celery soup, salt and pepper to taste, and some cheese. Stir it well and pour into a baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and cheese and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Delish!





Good luck!

I like to copy a favorite pasta salad from Souper Salad. I mix a can of tuna with a little chopped red onion, celery, and about 2 cups cooked pasta. Add just enough mayo to moisten it, and salt and pepper to taste.
