Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries








Another day, another day of additional snow!! Only 1" overnight but it just keeps adding up. I heard this morning on the morning news that we've set a new record for the most snow. This area just isn't used to this snow for this long of a period of time. It's been quite a Winter. For dinner tonight something new, a Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries.








Came across a form of this recipe from a Food Network Magazine a while back and also I've seen several others online. I love Tuna, Melts, and Cheese so I thought I would give it a try. I used 2 - 5 -ounce cans of Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna in Water (Drained), 3 tablespoons Kraft Light Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, and Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) for the Tuna. Then for the Horseradish Mayonnaise I needed 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 4 tablespoons Kraft Light Mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon French's Spicy Brown Mustard. I also need Meijer Bakery Whole Wheat Mini Sub Buns and slices of Muenster Cheese.








To prepare it I preheated the oven to 475 degrees F. Combined 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, the tuna, celery, parsley, paprika, and vinegar in a large bowl and mixed well. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Combined 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise along with the mustard and prepared horseradish in a small bowl; spread on the bread slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Mound the tuna mixture on top and pat it into an even layer. Topping each with 1 cheese slice. Baked until the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes. It turned out incredible! The Tuna mix had great flavor along with the melted Muenster Cheese and Crusty Bun. A keeper recipe for sure! You can serve it open face, which I did or top it with the other half of the bun.






I also had baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries, served with Hunt's Ketchup. For dessert my Mom had baked an Apple Pie that she made with Splenda. The pie just melts in your mouth!
