Anybody love tuna fish? I love it any good idea's or recipes for tuna i can use. ?

I make this up a lot, good low cost source of omega 3 Sometimes for sandwiches or with steamed baby carrots on the side.





Tuna Cakes


1 can tuna, drained (the one packed in water)


1/4 tsp Dijon mustard


1/4 cup bread crumbs (I use leftover whole wheat bread and grind it up in the food processor)


Dash of garlic powder


1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)


onion (optional)


1/2 tsp dill relish (optional)





Mix together in one bowl and then using pie plate with crumbs in it (2 inches thick or more); make 4 to 6 patties, (or one big one if you want a big tuna burger sandwich), cover each one with the crumbs.





Place in preheated, oiled pan.





Brown on one side and then gently flip it, to brown on other side.





Suggestion:


Can add sliced cheese (sharp cheddar is good) at the end to melt on top and serve on toast for a nice Tuna Patty Melt.

1 cup of uncooked macaroni noodles (boil in salted water until al dente)


1 can of tuna in olive oil (or use tuna in water and add your own olive oil), at least 6 or 7 oz of tuna


1 can of cream of mushroom soup (Campbell's preferably, if using low sodium, add some sea salt or regular salt to the tuna mixture...not too much)


A few drops of soy sauce (low sodium or regular)


1 small sauteed yellow onion and one small red pepper (preferably sweet) also sauteed in a bit of butter


Black pepper, to taste (may also use some garlic powder or paprika if you'd like)





Mix cooked noodles and other ingredients and pour into a greased glass casserole dish. Bake at 350 for about a half hour, uncovered. Add cheddar cheese to the top, shredded or chunks, and let bake another ten minutes. Add some french fried onion rings on top of it all after cheese has melted and finish baking for five or ten minutes, until top layer of cheese and onion rings has browned. Some people mix the cheese in the tuna noodle mixture or put it on top right away and let it get really brown. Some also use bread crumbs or potato chips instead. Any variation of veggies (broccoli is especially good) is fine....you can add a bit of milk if you'd like to make the mixture creamier. Cheese and something crunchy on top is a necessity too. Experiment with your favorite type of noodles

Mix all together, except 1/2 of the chow mein noodles and put in a grease casserole dish. Top with remaining chow mein noodles. Bake at 350掳F for 30 minutes.





Here is what changes you can make:
