How to Make Hot Tuna Sandwich
- Wearing gloves, carefully remove seeds and finely mince 1-2 jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference). If you prefer less heat, substitute with 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 oz cream cheese, 5 oz tuna (canned in water, drained), minced jalapeno (or green pepper), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Gently scoop out the center of 4 hamburger buns, leaving about 1/4 inch of bread around the edges.
- Fill each bun generously with the tuna mixture.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Frozen sandwiches may require an additional 5-10 minutes of baking time.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
