Ingredients

  • 2 5 oz. cans albacore tuna in water (or other variety) shredded with a fork
  • 2 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 1 cup dill pickle chopped
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1/3 cup green salad olives
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 5 oz. block American cheese, yellow or white cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup Miracle Whip salad dressing
  • 7 hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Prepare aluminum foil by tearing off 12" to 15" pieces, enough to wrap the sandwiches. 
  • Fill the buns with the tuna fish mixture and wrap in foil. (I used a #8 ice cream scoop).
  • Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place in oven for 25 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Serve the sandwiches wrapped in foil.

Notes

  1. Let leftover sandwiches cool, then place them in the refrigerator and eat them cold the next day.
  2. Any type of canned tuna can be used. They will all taste very similar.
  3. A block of American cheese works best. Block American is usually found in the deli section of your grocery.
