Submitted by OceanLuvinGranny

"My sister shared this one with me. She loves tuna and her husband hates it. So, we had it all to ourselves! She said she got it from a recipe site but couldn't remember which one. I wanted to put it on here so that I wouldn't lose it. Some of you might like it too."

I was anxious to make this dish. It just looked so delicious... but when I made it I was disappointed. It didn't have much flavor.
