ORIGINAL TUNA MELTS



Original Tuna Melts image

Long before Tuna Melts, in their many variations, became standard on every menu, my mother discovered this 1950's recipe. We grew up having these kid-friendly rolls on Friday nights when, as Catholics, we were forbidden meat. Served in corn-on-the-cob dishes with a side of french fries and a salad, Mom was out of the kitchen in under 45 minutes and we kids were in hog heaven!
