"This is my husband Kent's very favorite sandwich," says Barbara Billeter from Clovis, California, "and I often make a double batch when lots of family or friends are over."

Tips for Making Tuna Cheesies:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water and not oil. Avoid tuna that is labeled "flaked" or "chunk light," as these types of tuna are often lower in quality.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the cheesies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cheesies.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cheesies. Overcooked cheesies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the cheesies immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Tuna cheesies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of cheesies that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying treat, give tuna cheesies a try!
