Home Ec Tuna on Toast

Submitted by EdsGirlAngie

"Did everyone's mother learn how to make this in home ec class? My dad and I loved this creamed tuna, and I never had my mother's directions for it; she learned it in high school home ec class and never wrote it down. While my MIL-to-be was visiting, I had the opportunity to copy some of her recipes and this one was in a church cookbook that she brought with her. It appears to be my mother's recipe exactly."
