MOM'S CREAMED TUNA image

Mom's creamed tuna on toast was her go-to meal on a busy day. Boil a couple of eggs, open a few cans, toast some bread and, "Viola!" dinner is served. To me, it's comfort food that I enjoy to this day. I think of Mom every time I make it.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 can(s) tuna, drained (3 oz. cans)
1 can(s) condensed cream of celery soup
1/3 to 1/2 can(s) whole milk (1/3-1/2 soup can)
2 large hard boiled eggs, peeled
1/2 tablespoon(s) minced parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
SERVE OVER:
- toasted white or whole wheat bread
- toasted english muffins
- cooked & buttered noodles
- cooked rice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan or skillet, over medium heat, stir together soup and milk; heat until it simmers. (Density of condensed soups vary; add the amount of milk that seems appropriate.)
  • Add tuna, stirring gently to combine; continue heating until mixture is simmering hot.
  • Fold chopped eggs into tuna mixture; continue heating for about 20 to 30 seconds, enough to heat the egg.
  • Remove from heat; serve hot over toast, English muffins, noodle or rice. Garnish as desired. Store leftover creamed tuna in airtight container in refrigerator. Reheat on stovetop or in microwave.
