HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA
Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST
When we were kids, my mother was on a shoe string budget. By the end of the week the cupboards were getting bare and she would have to throw something together for us to eat. This was usually what she would throw together. Its quick and easy and most kids love it if they like tuna! Even my husband and my son enjoy this one!

Steps:
- Begin by melting the margarine in a 2-quart saucepan. Use a fork or a whisk to stir in the flour making sure it is smooth. Gradually stir in the milk. If you have a whisk you can go a little faster because a whisk can beat out any lumps. If you are using a fork then go very slowly so you can keep the mixture smooth. When the mixture is smooth stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir the sauce until it begins to boil. Allow it to boil for a full minute by the clock. Now remove the sauce from the heat.
- Drain the peas and the tuna. Stir gently and reheat only till boiling again. Do not overcook or the peas will get mushy. Serve over buttered toast or biscuits, rice, or noodles. The salt may be replaced with celery salt or garlic salt if desired.
- To use fozen peas instead of canned, simply replace the canned peas with 2 cups frozen peas. Allow the sauce to reheat for a minute or two so you will be sure the peas are cooked through. Do not ovecook the frozen peas wither. This is vital for a good dish.

CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST -- WHAT??
I will admit, there is absolutely nothing about this recipe that made sense to me growing up, other than I really liked it. Mama made it often as a way to stretch a dollar. But, Mama also told us that you shouldn't drink milk with fish. So when I found out she used milk to make this for us, I had some moments of uncertainty ......

Steps:
- Melt butter over med heat in small sauce pan.
- Add flour slowly, stirring constantly until well combined (it should form a smooth paste with no balls of flour still hidden).
- Add milk slowly, stirring in between each addition till all is smooth and not curdled looking.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Lastly, add the tuna fish and bring to a low boil. If sauce is too thick for your liking, add more milk -- too thin, add more flour.
- *sauce will thicken a bit as it simmers*.
- I like to add more pepper- towards the 1/2 teaspoons mark- but add to your liking.
- Toast 6 slices of bread in toaster, immediately upon removing from toaster put a large spoonful of tuna mixture on top of toast and spread evenly over top.
- Grate desired amount of cheese on top and serve!

CREAMED TUNA OR CHICKEN WITH PEAS
This classic, budget-friendly dish from the past is just as good at is always was -- especially if you skip the salty, canned mushroom soup and make it with good, homemade chicken stock (I suggest Recipe #219819 ), and frozen peas instead of canned peas. This particular version is a bit richer in meat than strictly necessary so if your budget is especially tight you can cut it down and it will be fine. Use water-packed tuna to be diet-friendly as well as budget-friendly. Note -- cooking time includes the 5 minute rest at the end.

Steps:
- Drain tuna or chop chicken finely.
- Bring chicken stock (and optional mushrooms if desired), to a boil. Add celery seed and thyme.
- Use a fork or a whisk to combine cornstarch with cold milk. Adjust amount according to whether you want a thicker or thinner sauce. Add to boiling stock, reduce heat, and stir until the sauce simmers gently.
- Add tuna/chicken, peas, and sherry.
- Heat through and season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Remove from heat. Let sit, keeping warm, for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Serve over the starch of your choice -- rice, toast points, noodles, cornbread (I suggest recipe Recipe #277295 ), biscuits, etc.
- Note -- if you have no homemade chicken stock I suggest using a good soup base (Tones brand is available in Sam's Club). Both bullion cubes and canned chicken broth are inferior substitutes for real stock and a dish this simple depends on the quality of the ingredients for good flavor.
- Tip -- if you enjoy tuna casserole but have give it up because of the salt in the mushroom soup try using a suitable quantity of this recipe (with or without the peas), as a substitute for the diluted soup.
