Ingredients

  • 1 cup American cheese Velveeta, cubed
  • 3 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 5 ounces canned tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 2 Tablespoons green pepper chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons onion chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 Hot dog or Hoagie Buns buttered

Instructions

  • Lightly mix together all ingredients except for Hoagie Buns.
  • Butter the inside of buns, fill with tuna salad.
  • Wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil.
  • Heat on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes in a 250 degree F oven.
  • These will fill 4-6 Hoagie buns depending on how much tuna salad you put in the buns or you can use a whole pack of hot dog buns.

Notes

    • One of our favorite kitchen tips is to hard boil extra eggs (you need 3 for this recipe) to have as snacks, use on salads or in other recipes later in the week.
    • Be sure to drain the tuna before flaking it and adding to the rest of the ingredients.
    • Use Miracle Whip instead of Mayo, if desired.
    • Dice up dill pickles or sweet pickles to use instead of relish.
    • Instead of serving in a hoagie, put the mixture in a pita instead. Heat in the same manner to melt the cheese melt.
    • Swap tuna for chicken or ham.
