I had some leftover hamburger buns that I needed to do something with. I found this recipe Hot Tuna and Cheddar Sandwiches on Its About Food, Family and Life. Jodi’s recipe was the perfect solution. I had everything I need in the house to make these. Plus, my kids love tuna.
Only 6 ingredients are needed. several you would expect in a tuna sandwich. There is tuna, mayo, and celery. The added ingredients include dried mincde onion and shredded cheddar cheese. Just those added ingredients makes it perfect. If you want some extra tang you could always use Miracle Whip in place of the mayo.
Hot Tuna and Cheddar Sandwiches
Ingredients
2 cans water packed tuna, drained
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 Tbsp dried onion
1 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used light mayo and I need 1 extra tablespoon)
Dash pepper
4 hamburger buns, split (I did 5 buns)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients (except buns, of course) together and put into buns. Wrap buns in aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (I cooked mine for 20 minutes). Serves 4-5.

What a great idea – I haven’t had tuna for ages and I bet my kids would love these too. Great idea to use up the hamburger buns, too.
I love a good quick meal. Tuna Melts are always good.

How funny…I made these over the weekend. I made up my own recipe and they turned out great. This recipe looks great. We must have been on the same wave length of a tuna melt…or else we both saw Picky Palate’s Tuna Sadwich post…which got me in the mood for a good ol’tuna melt. Yours looks great!
