Categories     Tuna Salads

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 lb velveeta cheese, cut into tiny cubes
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
5 1/2 oz can of tuna
2 Tbsp chopped bell pepper
2 Tbsp chopped green olives
2 Tbsp chopped bread and butter pickle
2 Tbsp finely diced onion
1/2 c mayonnaise
6 hot dog buns, white or wheat

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250° while mixing the filling.
  • 2. Combine all ingreds [except hot dog buns!] in a bowl. Mix lightly.
  • 3. Split buns, and fill them with the tuna mixture.
  • 4. If you buy your hot dog buns in a box, return the filled buns to the box in which they came. OR, wrap each filled bun in aluminum foil. Wrap kind of loosely, so the filling doesn't stick to the foil. You can wrap them all in one huge piece of foil, if that's the way you prefer to do it.
  • 5. Place boxed or foil-wrapped buns in the oven at 250°. Cook for about 30 minutes, until filling is hot, and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve right away, while hot.

Tips:

  • Prepare the ingredients beforehand: Chop the vegetables, mix the sauce, and cook the tuna ahead of time to save time during assembly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just one or two vegetables. Use a mix of colors and textures for a more flavorful and visually appealing dish.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become dry and tough.
  • Season the tuna well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the tuna. This will add depth and complexity to the dish.
  • Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a soft and fluffy bun that will hold up to the filling.
  • Get creative with the toppings: In addition to the lettuce, tomato, and cheese, you can also add other toppings such as avocado, bacon, or a fried egg.
