This is a 1950s classic. If you're into tuna it can be considered yummy. I liked it until one of my brothers said it looked like "vomit on a plate". But then Mom changed it up a bit and began broiling it and man did that make a flavor (and appearance) difference! I made this lighter than mama did!
This serves 3 people.
- 6 slices 40 or 45 calorie bread (Like Aldi fit and active or Sarah Lee)
- 1 cup half and half
- 14 oz can peas and carrots, drained
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cans drained albacore tuna
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium heat
- Whisk in the flour in for 1 minute to cook
- Slowly add in the half and half and whisk until thickened
- Flake the tuna and add it and the vegetables to the cream mixture and heat through.
- Serve on toast.
For an added twist, place a slice or two of Swiss cheese on top and broil, on low for a few moments until melted and golden.
