Answer 2

Have you tried Tuna Potatoes they are like twice baked potatoes here is how I make them. Bake about 8 medium potatoes until done about 1 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the potatoe meat put into a bowl and save the empty shells on a baking pan mash up the potatoes then add 2 cans of tuna drained, 1 onion finely chopped, enough mayonnaise to moisten the potatoes, 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese and 1 chili pepper if you like spicy food. Mix it all together well and with a spoon scoop it back into the potato shells then bake for about 45 minutes at 350 or until light brown. My kids loved them when they were little and still ask for them now that they are older. They are great as a snack or a meal.

Answer 3

While growing up, my mom used to make Tuna cakes (tuna, bread crumbs, seasonings, egg to hold together....fried in a bit of oil). Here's an even tastier version we tried recently:

BBQ Tuna Fritters

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes Ready In: 25 Minutes
Yields: 2 servings

"A fun way to make canned tuna taste less like canned tuna. These thin tuna patties are tasty enough to be eaten plain or in a pita pocket with lettuce and tomato."

INGREDIENTS:
1 (6 ounce) can light tuna in
water, drained
1 egg
2/3 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper
sauce, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried savory
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, egg and oats until blended. Mix in the barbeque sauce, green onion, hot pepper sauce, savory, and salt.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the tuna mixture into the pan, and flatten slightly. Smaller patties hold together better. Cook until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side.

Boil some egg noodles, add a couple cans of tuna, a couple cans of either cream of chicken or mushroom soup, and a can of peas. Throw in some spices that you've got in the cupboard. It takes just a few minutes and no mess.

I love tuna. Tuna pasta is good. Put the tuna on cooked pasta, there are pasta sauces like tomato and chili and cheese and silverbeet, and cover in breadcrumbs and bake. Also canned tuna in taco shells with taco sauce and cheese under the griller is tasty.
