Tuna fritters with Cheese Sauce / myLot

United States

July 2, 2022 9:56pm CST

This recipe is from 1959 by Carnation Evaporated Milk. Personally, combining tuna patties with cheese sauce doesn't sound or look good to me. But, I love the idea of making a cheese sauce without having to use flour to make it thick. And, the tuna fritters sound good, too. Why not use both recipes for different things? The cheese sauce would be good for french fries or tater tots; or on hot dogs; or over baked potatoes; even with eggs. And the tuna fritters would make a nice lunch or be perfect for making tuna sliders (mini buns). What do you think?

I just don't want cheese in my tuna unless I'm getting a tuna hoagie (sub) - then I'll get a slice of cheese on the sandwich because I like butter with my tuna salad and the cheese provides a similar flavor.

I am NO expert. I never learned how to cook. My mother never taught me. But, when I first had cable, I watched Food Network every single day and learned so much I never learned growing up. I'm still no expert, but I can pull off a lot of things I never could do before.

I am with you on this. I would never combine tuna patties with a cheese sauce, no way. I could use the cheese sauce for another recipe.

Right? Maybe hollandaise sauce, but not cheese sauce. Especially, bright yellow cheese.

@jerzgirl Hollandaise for sure is a better choice, also a dill sauce would be fine.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this. Bit confused, is Carnation still available on the market?

Yes, here in the United States, yes. But, they're not the only company that makes evaporated milk. There might be other brands where you live. Make sure it's not "sweetened condensed" milk. You don't want heavily sweetened milk at all. Evaporated. Not condensed.
