Creamed Tuna on Toast

RE: Creamed Tuna on Toast Post by Virruth (1) | (10/02/2008) Contact Thanks for this recipe that brings back so many memories...Friday's usual meal for us Irish Catholics...I want to try it for my grandchildren who want me to make Tuna Helper! We also made the white sauce and put hard-boilded egg whites in it. Then served the sauce over toast and sprinkled the yolk over it and called it Eggs Ala Goldenrod! Oh those were the days.

So yummy so flavorful, so thrifty, and oh so good! I also ate this when I was just a kid. I'll share my opinion, I eat food because it TASTES good, not only because it is inexpensive to prepare. This is "one "of the gems in culinary history to survive. We thank our mothers, fathers, whomever introduced to us creamed tuna on toast! Deja vu... I KNOW I've been here before. I'm SO happy too!

Never underestimate the versatility of C. o. M. soup!

He is so tired of flipping burgers and the only time he eats out is at McDonkeynuts. He is 250 pounds of kebab and burger. I know that some of it will be tuna on toast now at least. He always did say he wants to be as big as Elvis, I think one way or another, probably more by over eating than by singing, he will get his dream. Thank you for making tuna on toast part of that dream!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Creamed Tuna on Toast Post By Sandra (Guest Post) (08/23/2007) I am going to have to try this on my husband. He is a professional chef of 32 years, I got to make a tuna noodle casserole once and that was it. We'll see. It might be one of those meals just for me when he is working, like tonight I am having McBeef. He does eat that but turns up his nose at some southern cooking. He is from Denmark and they eat weird stuff like lots of herrings. lol Report Spam or Abuse RE: Creamed Tuna on Toast Post By lisa (Guest Post) (02/22/2007) lol, never really knew how many people grew up on the same thing. going to try and make today for the first time for my boyfriend so thank you for the recipe Report Spam or Abuse RE: Creamed Tuna on Toast.. YUM! Post by Ariela (216) | (10/03/2006) Profile | Contact I never had this before untill I was married. (My mother in law made it. (40 yrs ago)I still make it often. Its good on toast or bisquits I just make white sauce (alot lol) its so good and hearty I just figure on a can of drained tuna per person.. trust me, less isnt enuf. Especially cause we like it chunky not all mushed up. To make it chunky I make the white sauce.. when its all hot and bubbly I just turn off the burner and spoon in the drained tuna then spoon the sauce over the tuna so its gets hot. Then cover the pan.. I use a deep skillet so I dont have to stir it thus avoiding the mushy effect. By the time I get the plates and side dishs and bisquits ready its ready,... man my mouth is watering now. P.S. I guess i should add that my white sause is melt margarine (I never measure) add flour salt pepper stir till bubbly... then add milk.. stir and turn burner up, stiring till as thick as desired (we like it thick) I allow one can of drained tuna per person if you like it chunky.. if not then.. im not sure since this is how I have always made it.

My mom used to make it for us kids when she and my dad were going out for the evening and she needed to make something fast and easy. I think she felt guilty for making a "quickie" dinner but we were loving it! I think I'll make some tonight.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Creamed Tuna on Toast Post By Jenn (Guest Post) (08/04/2006) I had this all the time growing up. We called it tuna gravy. The only difference is that my mom served it over biscuits. I can't get my fiance to try it, but I still make it for myself. Yum! I'll have to try the hard-boiled egg idea.

Does anyone have the exact amounts, etc. This is the only way my family eats this receipe. I make it in a double boiler because that's what I remember my mom doing. But I don't have the recipe written down anymore.

For breakfast, my mom would use the same recipe except she would use hard-boiled eggs instead of tuna--Creamed Eggs on Toast. It's still one of our favorites.
