These tuna melts were a disaster! The bread was soggy and the tuna salad was bland. I won't be making these again.

I accidentally used canned chicken instead of tuna. It was still good, but not as good as it would have been with tuna.

The tuna salad was too runny for my taste. I had to add more mayonnaise to thicken it up.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'Italian-American style'. It doesn't really taste Italian to me.

These tuna melts are a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two in my pantry.

I didn't have any marinara sauce on hand so I used tomato soup instead. It worked out great!

I love that this recipe uses Italian seasoning instead of the traditional dill. It gives the tuna salad a really unique and flavorful twist.

I'm not a huge fan of tuna salad but I loved this recipe! The Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese really take it to the next level.

Tuna melts are a classic comfort food and these Italian-American style melts are extra delicious with the addition of Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and marinara sauce.
