I got a good deal on tuna.

We like it in tuna salad and tuna melts. The tuna melts is a slice of bread and tuna spread on it and topped with cheese. Then toast in oven. We love these. I have put tuna in my Chicken Helper and it tastes good too. Do you have any other suggestions on how to use my surplus of tuna?

Hmm.. That's great. You can add tuna with onions. First, fry the onions with the lard of the tuna then place the tuna in the frying pan then after 5 minutes put eggs. Mix it. It tastes delicious.

here is my other suggestion for your tuna... Mediterranean Fish Cakes SUBMITTED BY: HKCHEF "Mixed seafood patties blended with fresh herbs and spices, lightly pan fried or grilled and served with lemon wedges and salad - Perfect, healthy and tasty dinner, enjoy with a nice Pinot Grigio! Substitute salmon, crab, or sole to create a variety of delicious alternatives." INGREDIENTS * 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided * 6 ounces fresh bay scallops * 1/2 medium onion * 4 cloves garlic * 5 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped * 1 egg * 1 bunch fresh parsley * 6 basil leaves * 2 fresh hot chile peppers, seeded * 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning * 1/2 cup bread crumbs * 1 (9 ounce) can tuna, drained * 1 (6.5 ounce) can shrimp, drained * 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour DIRECTIONS 1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in scallops; cook, turning until white on all sides. Drain, and set scallops aside to cool. 2. Place into a food processor the onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, egg, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Then add parsley, basil leaves, chiles, and Italian seasoning. Pulse on medium setting until finely chopped. Place scallops, tuna, and shrimp into food processor, and pulse on low. Gradually pour in breadcrumbs, continuing to pulse until the mixture becomes firm and slightly sticky but is not pureed to a paste (the seafood should maintain some texture). 3. Form the mixture into palm-size patties, about 1 inch thick. Place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. 4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge patties lightly in flour; shake off excess flour, and place patties in skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

A tuna casserole is always good and easy to fix. I boil the spaghetti, then mix in a can of cream of mushroom soup, and a can of tuna. Then bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour.

she toasted the bread in the toaster, then put the tuna salad mix on the bread, THEN sliced onions, and tomato slices, THEN the cheese, then would broil them for just a few seconds, YUMMERS! sometimes when i make mine i just chop the onions and put them in the tuna salad. i myself don't use the tomatoes, (don't like tomatoes)!!

Mix well. Shape into balls; roll in corn flakes. Dip in melted butter. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve on cocktail picks.
