Flash back to your own childhood with these delicious tuna melts! The original tuna melt recipe calls for processed American cheese, but you can use whatever cheese you like (cheddar, swiss, provolone—it’s all good).
This recipe comes to us from The Texas A&M University System’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. Check out other recipes here.
