Creamed Tuna on Toast image

When I need to make a meal in a hurry and the cupboard looks bare, there is always a couple of cans of tuna. My husband loves this quick dinner. His mom made it with cream of whatever soup and when I made it for him the first time with a white sauce he went nuts for it.
