Grammy Linda's Tuna Melt

A simple and delicious open-face tuna sandwich to make with ingredients that most people have on hand in their pantry and fridge.

• Ready In: 18 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 4  potato buns (like Martin's Potato Sandwich Rolls) or 4  hamburger buns or 4  English muffins
• 2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water
• 3⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 1  stalk celery, chopped (11 inches long )
• 1  teaspoon onion powder
•  salt & pepper, to taste
• 2  tomatoes, sliced horizontally
• 8  slices American cheese

Directions

1. Split rolls in half horizontally; and brown under broiler or on skillet. Place rolls cut side up on a cookie sheet pan and set aside.
2. Mix the 5 tuna salad ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to make the sandwiches.
3. Horizontally slice tomatoes of choice.
4. Divide tuna salad into 8 portionsl and place each portion atop a browned roll half.
5. Top each with i-2 slices tomato.
6. Top each with a slice of cheese.
7. Turn on your oven broiler and place pan of sandwiches 4 inches below broiling element. Watch carefully and remove when cheese melts to your satisfaction. ( I do not care for charred or brown cheese; so I remove as soon as cheese drapes over the tomatoes.) Serve immediately. Yum!
8. Tip: For a large group, the sandwiches may be compiled several hours before needed and broiled right before serving. Enjoy -- .
