Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Is there anything more comforting than a classic grilled cheese sandwich? Especially when paired with a cup of hot tomato soup? Nope, but everyone knows how to make a grilled cheese. Butter some bread, stick a slice of American cheese in between and brown it in a skillet. Not too difficult. But why not switch it up and combine two great sandwiches (in their own right) into one? A perfect, simple, and easy Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a great addition to the lunch rotation.
Perfect browned crust surround a cheesy, gooey center of tuna and cheese.
A simple combination of canned tuna, mayonnaise, and onion. Add in shredded cheddar cheese.
And butter that bread man!
Butta makes everything betta.
Serve warm with a side of potato chips and a dill pickle spear.
These sandwiches are sure to become a family favorite for lent just like the Cajun Shrimp Po Boys!
