I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly growing up. It was one of my favorite meals and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70s. Times aren’t so tough now but I still make this about once a month. It’s great when you’re in a hurry or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 (5 ounce) can chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 slices bread, toasted, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into melted butter until smooth to make a roux. Slowly stream milk into the mixture while whisking continually. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir tuna into the milk mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook until tuna is warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Ladle tuna mixture over toasted bread to serve.
