For sandwiches I add little bit of mayo,sliced tomatoes,chopped onions and pickles or capers. Served with your favorite bread...Delicious.
My husband surprised me by adding a can to our pasta sauce for Spaghetti. it was so good and it took me awhile to figure it out. Now I do it too. A nice change from ole hamburger
Try it with mayo, dry mustard (sold in the spice aisle of the food store) and some sweet relish (like you use in hot dogs). I just found that receipe yesterday and it is good!
feed it to the cat hehe
Make a dip with cream cheese and spices(liquid smoke will make it taste like smoked salmon dip, use just a little)
Tuna salad , of course
Tuna Casserole, I personally do not care for it, some love it
Add some mayo, celery, salt & pepper and then add some jalapeno pepper to it....you can also add some honey to your tuna recipe...doesn't sound that good, but, don't knock it 'till you try it.
I am going to try the spaghetti sauce - thanks!!

MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Spread mixture evenly in a 9x13 pan glass or earthenware casserole dish.
Top with shredded cheese.
Cover and bake 1 hour 350 degrees. Can be frozen and cooked later or cooked and reheated.
A metal 9x13 pan takes longer to cook than a glass one, so bake it slightly longer if you use a metal pan.
Mixture should be set well when removed from oven.

Creamed Tuna
4 Tbls. Butter
4 Tbls. Flour
1 tsp. Salt
? tsp. Pepper
2 C Milk
1 Can Tuna, drained (use 2 cans for a heartier dish)
1 C Frozen green peas
Melt butter of very low heat. Add flour, salt & pepper; stir until well blended. Remove from heat.
Gradually stir in milk and return to heat. Cook, stirring constantly until thick and smooth.
Add tuna and peas. Cook until heated through.
You can serve over toast as my Mom did or for a fancier twist serve over Puff Pastry Shells (you can find them in the freezer section, I like the Pepperidge Farms brand).
This is an old family favorite ~ the only way my Mom could get me to eat peas! I still love it!
Aah, tuna, the traditional student food...
- Apart from your usual tuna&sweetcorn mayo with jacket potato, or in a sandwich, try mixing it into pasta - adding frozen peas can also be good. A bit of cheese grated on top is also tasty.
- if you're not a fan of traditional tuna mayo, try adding lemon juice and plenty of black pepper - this makes it lighter, and for a bit of crunch, try chopped sweet peppers and spring onions. This also makes a good dip with tortilla chips and celery sticks.
- Mixed into white sauce with a splodge of tomato puree and some cayenne pepper, it makes a good pasta bake.
- Easy rice salad: Cook and cool some long-grain rice and a handful of frozen mixed veg, chop a red pepper and some spring onion, then mix with some tuna and a little dressing. Good for a picnic, or leave out the dressing and stuff into large tomatoes before chucking in the oven for a bit.
- Nicoise salad. Cook some green beans and refresh in cold water, hard boil 1 egg per person. Mix some salad leaves, toss in the beans and some black olives. Add dressing, anchovies if wished, canned tuna, and egg.
Try my Pita Tuna Bread.
It's healthy, packed up with a lot of negative calories and has a little apple cider vinegar.
Ingredients:
1/2 can of tuna in water. Drain it well.
Two tablespoons of chopped celeries
Three slices of tomatoes
One pita bread (6 inches).
3 slices of cucumber
One teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
Two tablespoon of fat free Italian dressing
One green lettuce leaf (chop it well)
A pinch of chopped bell peppers
Salt, pepper and ketchup according to your preferences
Instructions:
Blend the tuna, bell peppers, dressing, apple vinegar and celeries in a bowl. Refrigerate overnight and keep the cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes separated from the tuna mix.
When serving just wrap the tuna mix in pita bread securely while inserting the lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes as well. You can add salt, pepper and ketchup to enhance the taste. This makes one serving.
