TUNA HOBOS



Tuna Hobos image

This is a marvelous tasting hot sandwich with a convenient make-ahead feature. Prepare the sandwiches early and wrap them in foil; bake just before eating. They do require baking; the crockpot or microwave just won't give the same results. Recipe doubles or triples easily. It came from Family Circle magazine about 35 years ago.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine, as this can make the tuna taste too salty.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your tuna hobos the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
  • Season your tuna hobos well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great seasonings to use on tuna hobos. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin, to taste.
  • Cook your tuna hobos until the tuna is cooked through. The tuna is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve your tuna hobos immediately. Tuna hobos are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Tuna hobos are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
