Four Nights A Week

When we were kids, my sisters and I were given a copy of Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls. My memory which is possibly faulty is that our version had a spiral spine. Professional! Sometimes I wish I knew where that tome went, I’m sure it would be chockfull of classics from our growing up years. This recipe, however, seems to have transcended time. I’d forgotten about it until I began looking for family favorites from our childhood.

Reminiscent of tuna melts, here, in all of it’s 1960s glory, I give you Betty Crocker’s version – Tuna Burgers.

Ingredients

• 1 – 7 oz. can tuna 
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup cheese or processed cheese, diced (feel free to update that to something less processed)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• salt & pepper to taste
• 6 hamburger buns

Method:

• Split and butter buns. 
• Mix tuna, celery, cheese, mayonnaise and seasonings in bowl. 
• Fill buns with tuna mixture. 
• Wrap in wax paper and heat on baking sheet at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
