Mom's Old School Velveeta Tuna Buns
A retro classic, Mom's Old School Cheesy Tuna Buns make hearty, delicious sandwiches. Filled with tuna, Velveeta cheese, hard boiled eggs and more.
Ingredients
- 8 each hamburger buns sometimes I stretch it to 12 buns
- 4 large hard boiled eggs chopped
- 3 cans tuna drained (I use 5 oz. cans packed in water)
- 12 oz Velveeta cheese cut into small chunks
- ¼ cup yellow or white onion diced (Alternatively I have used 1 Tbsp. dried minced onion)
- 1 small red bell pepper diced, about 1/2 cup total
- ½ cup Miracle Whip
- 1 Tbsp. sweet or regular pickle relish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400-f degrees. Combine all ingredients except the buns. Line the bottom of a baking sheet with foil.
- Lay down bottom buns. Add 1/2 cup of filling to each bun, topping with the other part of your hamburger bun. If stretching the mixture to use more buns, you will want to use less than 1/2 cup.
- Cover with foil tightly. (Buns will get too crunchy if baked the entire time without the foil). Bake for 25 minutes. If you would like a little bit of crunch, take the foil off for the last 5 minutes.
