Hot Tuna Sandwich

This easy recipe is from a cookbook put out by Dorothy Mengering, mother of Late Night talk show host David Letterman. I like it for the addition of the jalapeno pepper; if you don't like it as spicy you can use regular green pepper.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup  grated cheddar cheese
• 1 (7 ounce) can tuna in water
• 1  jalapeno pepper
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice

• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 (4 ounce) container  whipped cream cheese

Directions

1. Wearing gloves, carefully remove seeds and chop the jalapeno pepper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the cheese, tuna, jalapeno, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and cream cheese.
3. Scoop out the center of the hamburger buns. Fill each bun with tuna mixture.
4. Wrap each sandwich in foil and heat at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
5. Sandwiches can be frozen before heating.
