Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp margarine
- 3 Tbsp chopped onion
- 1/3 cup celery or green pepper
- 6 Tbsp flour
- 1 can creamed soup
- 3/4 to 1 cup milk
- 1 can tuna
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Melt margarine and add chopped onion and celery or green pepper. Add flour.
Blend together. Add rest of ingredients. Heat through and serve on toast.
Changes: I hate onions, so I switched the onions with an unmeasured amount of onion powder - quite a bit because I do love the powder. I also switched margarine for butter, but didn't know how to measure the tablespoons so I used far too much. To be safe with reaching a celery taste, I used a creamed celery soup, and more milk than necessary. Because the instructions called for toast, I decided to try both Melba toast, and regular toast (white bread). If the food has been less of a liquid the Melba toast would be perfect. As it was, I believe the white toast was a good substitution should your attempt at this recipe be as equally slippery.
Too much butter is *never* a bad thing. But you're right, it does looks mildly repulsive. But if you put this, warmed, in a small bowl and served it as a dip with crackers, (add a sprig of parsley on top for looks) it would be a good party snack.
ReplyDeleteYou could thicken it up with a bit of cream cheese as well...perhaps it wouldn't be so runny then.
