Frugal Tuna Burgers

Diana in KS's Note:

Easy tuna cakes that use stuffing instead of spices & breadcrumbs. This is a cheap, frugal and fast dinner.

4. In a bowl add stuffing, tuna, cheese and mushrooms.
5. Form into patties.

7. Add as many patties as your skillet will hold comfortably. (In mine, I can fit three medium size patties without them touching.).
8. Cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
9. Continue adding patties and extra oil as needed until all of the tuna mix is used.
10. Remove to a plate until all are complete.
