Is there anything I can do with canned tuna besides tuna salad and tuna casseroles/ tuna helper?

Question

I just cleaned out my pantry and realized I have about 14 cans of chunk light tuna in water. LOL.

Answer 1

Drain tuna and top it on field greens with a light vinaigrette

Answer 2

Well I may not be able to help you much, but you can vary up your versions of these things and get some variety. You can also just spice it up and put it in a sandwich.

There are tuna patties, they have egg, flour, cornmeal, etc, you make them into burger shapes and fry them in oil. Really good.

Anyway.

Tuna is great in box mac and cheese, add a handful of frozen peas.

It makes a great macaroni salad. Use shells or any smallish pasta, cooked and drained. Add mayo, tuna, celery, cheese, etc.

For variations on tuna salad, use something besides mayo for about half the amount. You can try ranch dressing, mustard or honey mustard, or any type of salad dressing.

You can sprinkle it in a green salad.

You can serve your traditional tuna salad with any bread, including tortillas, bagels, and pita, as well as any cheese. You can make a hot grilled cheese with tuna inside.

Answer 3

You can put it on salad its good, also i make a really good tuna pasta thing, take cream of mushroom or chicken soup and cook it make some pasta and then put that in a bowl, put on the soup and then add the tuna its soooooo good especially reheated in the microwave the next day.

Answer 4

My husband makes this soup that I can't stand. (I hate the smell of tuna) He takes a package of the fresh udon noodles (it's a ramen type soup, but fresh noodles instead of dried). He cookes the noodles and adds the seasoning packet, drains off most of the broth and adds his tuna. I think it's so gross because the tuna just smells up the whole house. He thinks it's funny because I hate it so much.

Answer 6

Tuna burgers are a favorite in our house.

Can of tuna
chopped carrot and celery
egg
bread crumbs

Form patties. Let sit for 20 minutes or so so they firm up (very important or they fall apart.)

Little oil in a pan or a spray of pam and brown each side until heated trough. Good on a salad or on an english muffin.
