What to do with tuna
• Make tuna melts: Add a slice of cheese to a tuna sandwich and grill it.
• Make a tuna casserole: Combine 1 (14.5-oz.) can of cream of mushroom soup with 2 cans of tuna, drained, 12 oz. cooked pasta, and 1 cup grated cheese (optionally: add minced onion, sliced mushrooms, or peas). Mix together and pour into a baking dish. Top with crushed potato chips or buttered breadcrumbs and bake in a 350°F oven until bubbly.
