Tasty Tuna Melts

Tired of the same ol' lunch for the kids? Try these easy tummy pleasers! These are great as a snack on their own, for lunch with a bowl of tomato soup or a late night hunger-buster for growing teens!

3 English Muffins, split open (will equal 6 melts)

1 can of tuna, drained and mixed with mayonnaise or Miracle Whip dressing

3/4 cup shredded cheese (old cheese keeps the cheese flavour while baking) OR (processed slices cut in half diagonally)

Preheat oven: to 400 degrees

1. Place split English muffins on a baking sheet.

2. Spread a layer of tuna.

3. Top with shredded cheese (or triangle of processed cheese).

4. Bake until cheese melts.

Cheese will be hot, use caution when serving children.

Alternatives:

* Add hot pepper rings on top of tuna melt for a kick.
* Mix cheeses (mozzarella and cheddar)
* Add finely chopped onions, garlic or other tuna add-ins.
