I'm interested in this. What kind of ratios are you using?
I only buy the regular size cans of tuna unless I am making salads, then I buy the smaller packets of tuna (don't have to drain and easier to carry to work and add to the salad when I get ready to eat it at a later time. There are two different size packs, can't remember the oz of each, but I buy the smaller one and it's plenty for one big salad.
But I assume you are talking about the other I mentioned. All cans of tuna I buy are
Solid White Albacore. Have to buy Starkist brand if I am buying the packs for salads. Have yet to see Bumblebee in packs.
Sandwiches - 1 regular can of tuna will make 2 decent sandwiches, usually use honey wheat bread. I open the can, drain water off, dump tuna in a bowl, add a liberal shaking of slap ya mama cajun seasoning and sometimes I add garlic salt or powder as well. Also, you can use garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning, it's very good too...but I prefer the cajun seasoning. After adding the seasoning, I chop up the tuna with a spoon which also distributes the seasoning. Squirt enough regular mayo in that will make it a decently mixed consistency, not to much, but you don't want it to seem dry. Then sometimes I do a few squirts of spicy brown mustard, sometimes I don't. Depends on how much you like it. But when I do, it's maybe 1/6th of the mayo volume. A little goes a long way so don't overdo it. Apply evenly on two pieces of loaf bread, add a slice of cheese if desired, cap with another piece of bread and feast. Good healthy sammiches. Also since it's going on bread, it's ok to add a little more mayo than with my other recipe below. The bread will soak up some.
Tuna snack - Do the exact same thing as with the sammiches, preparing 1 reg size can in a bowl with either cajun or lemon pepper and garlic either way, then I either just eat it with a spoon and simultaneously eat ritz crackers with it til it's gone, or if I prefer Cheetos or chili cheese Fritos, I literally just pour them in the bowl with the tuna and stir it all up together and eat with a spoon. **** is good.
I love tuna, I had a bunch of cans in the cabinet and lots of ritz crackers, cheetos, and fritos when the storms came through in 2011, so that whole week without power, I ate tuna every day and enjoyed it. Lol. Try it out, it's hard to beat.
