TUNA LOAF

Quick, cheap, tasty and nutritious! Mom used to serve this all the time to our busy family. I replace the 2 lightly beaten eggs with Egg beaters or egg whites and substitute crushed popcorn, or GF cracker/breadcrumbs so that I can continue to enjoy this dish.

TUNA LOAF



Tuna Loaf image

I was looking for a tuna loaf recipe and found Carol Junkins 'Tuna Cakes~Flavors of Cape Cod.' I made few changes and additions, and on Carol's suggestion, here it is. Loaf will be on the dry side, since it's tuna and therefore, no fat, so you may want to serve with tartar sauce, a dill mayo, or any of your choice.

TUNA LOAF



Tuna Loaf image

Excellent flavor, really easy to put together, basic ingredients. Next time I make this I will use fresh cooked tuna. Highly recommended.

Provided by Lee Thayer

Categories     Fish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 can(s) tuna, drained, or 15 oz fresh cooked
1/2 c bread crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 c green bell pepper, diced
1/2 c onion, diced
1/4 c milk
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, as desired
dash(es) tabasco sauce, as desired

Steps:

  • 1. Note about the tuna. I used 3 cans, drained well. Weight listed on each can was 185 grams net, 140 grams drained. For fresh cooked, go with 425 grams (15 oz).
  • 2. Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease with butter or olive oil with an oil sprayer, a loaf pan.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, as well as Tabasco sauce if desired.
  • 4. Use a large spoon and mix together.
  • 5. Pack mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  • 6. Place in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • 7. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sides of your choice and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Canned tuna is typically packed in water or oil. Oil-packed tuna has a richer flavor, but it's also higher in calories. For a healthier option, choose tuna packed in water.
  • Drain the tuna well. Before using the tuna, be sure to drain it well. This will help to prevent the tuna loaf from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a variety of ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your tuna loaf. Some popular additions include celery, onion, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, and seasonings.
  • Bake the tuna loaf until it's cooked through. The tuna loaf should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until it's cooked through. You can tell if it's done by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the tuna loaf is done.
  • Let the tuna loaf cool before serving. Once the tuna loaf is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Tuna loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With so many different ways to make tuna loaf, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
