Original Tuna Melts image

Long before Tuna Melts, in their many variations, became standard on every menu, my mother discovered this 1950's recipe. We grew up having these kid-friendly rolls on Friday nights when, as Catholics, we were forbidden meat. Served in corn-on-the-cob dishes with a side of french fries and a salad, Mom was out of the kitchen in under 45 minutes and we kids were in hog heaven!

Tuna melts are my favorite sandwich, and this recipe is the best I've ever tried. The tuna salad is creamy and flavorful, and the melted cheese is perfectly gooey. I will definitely be making these again!

These tuna melts were so easy to make and they turned out so good! I used canned tuna, but I think next time I'll try using fresh tuna. I also added a little bit of chopped red pepper to the tuna salad for a bit of color.

I've made tuna melts before, but this recipe is definitely the best. The addition of celery and onion gives the tuna salad a nice crunch, and the Dijon mustard adds a little bit of tang. I'll definitely be making these again!
