Normally I don’t like any recipe with canned tuna in it (except tuna sandwiches). But I remember Mom making this, and it never really tasted like tuna. Mostly it tasted deliciously of onion. It’s a great recipe when you don’t have many fresh ingredients available, and it’s pretty comforting. I don’t make this as often anymore, but it’s a good recipe to have on hand if you have lots of tuna.
If you’re making this gluten free, make sure to use cornstarch instead of flour.
Make it a meal with:
- Rice
- Peas
- Fruit Salad
Creamed Tuna

Comforting and great for using pantry foods.
