Canned tuna is a great, inexpensive source of protein. It’s low-calorie and ready to eat. If you’re looking for more ways to use canned tuna, and you don’t want another tuna salad, there are plenty of recipes that will let you use that tuna for a brand new meal.
Rice Patties
A good use of canned tuna is to mix it with cooked rice and some garlic, onions, and an egg. Make the mixture into balls and then patties and fry them shallowly. The result is crispy and perfect for a snack or an entrée.
Add Mac and Cheese
Mixing some tuna in with peas and some mac and cheese is a great way to give it a very different flavor. It’s an easy recipe to make that you may start to crave for its cheese flavor and high level of protein.
Olive Oil
To make this dish, just drain all of the water out of the tuna can and put your tuna in a bowl. Then, put plenty of olive oil on top and sprinkle in some crushed red pepper and some fresh black pepper.
Mix With Hummus
How can you make your hummus even better? Add tuna. Mixing the two together makes a nice, thick spread that you can eat on toast or in between bread as a sandwich. It’s quick, easy, and easy to carry with you.
Tuna Alfredo
Make some pasta, and then add in some Alfredo sauce and a can of tuna. You can eat this as-is, or you can add breadcrumbs and bake it up for a very different-tasting meal. It pairs well with green beans.
Serve It With Potatoes
Take some white potatoes and boil them alone with two eggs. Mash all of that together with all the tuna from the can and put olive oil on it. You can add hot sauce if you love spicy dishes.
Make a Chowder
To make an inexpensive chowder, you can add a can of tuna and mix it with a chopped potato and some creamed sweetcorn. Boil the potato slices in salty water. Add it all together for a chowder that’s perfect on a cold day.
Cook It With Grits
Cook some grits, place the canned tuna on top of the grits, and then cover it with tomato slices. Next, place some cheese on top. It’s a full meal that’s simple to make and tastes great every time.
Tuna Melts
If you’re tired of hamburgers and patty melts, a tuna melt is a great way to switch it up. The tuna can be mixed with mayo and cheese if desired, as well as pickles. It’s then put onto buns and broiled. Potato buns go great with the tuna flavor.
Sweet Potato Cakes
With this meal, you shred up some sweet potatoes and mix the uncooked shreds in some tuna, some mayo, and beat an egg and add it in. You can place these into muffin pans and bake them to have little savory cakes to enjoy.
Eat on Crackers
If you want some of the easiest meal preparation around, you can mix some tuna with some herbs and olive oil. Then, place small amounts of tuna onto some Triscuit crackers. Meal preparation doesn’t get much easier.
Egg Noodle Dish
You can take tuna that’s been drained of water and add it into a serving of egg noodles. Then, add a little Italian salad dressing as well as drained canned peas and add garlic and salt and pepper. You eat this one cold for a cooling meal on a hot day.
Tuna Burgers
Add tuna together with a can of cream of mushroom soup. Add some scallions for some flavor and texture. Cook the mixture as you toast some buns. Put them all together for a tasty hamburger substitute.
Add It to a Pizza
If you haven’t tried canned tuna on pizza, you’re missing out. Add red onions as well as small pieces of tuna and cook the pizza. It’s an unusual treat that you may want to make again.
Make a Ceviche Substitute
Take jalapenos and mix in some tomato, onions, lime juice, cilantro if you like it, and some canned tuna. You can eat this mixture with tortilla chips or place it on a tostada for plenty of crunch.
