Lazy Tuna Patties

I'm seriously on a tuna kick.

Like I have been craving it.

I mean, I like tuna and all.

I certainly don't have an aversion to tuna.

But to crave it?

Kinda weird, if you ask me.

But, I'm rolling with it.

I like tuna in a variety of ways,

tuna salad being one.

But this week, I decided to make tuna burgers for dinner.

Thankfully, I have a recipe on the blog for that!

So I did what was easy and just looked up that recipe!

You can see it here:

But when I read the ingredients, I knew that having been gone on vacation and then moving my oldest cherub back to college -- I didn't have everything I needed.

So I did what anyone would do.

I did a google search.

I found this recipe that I used as my starting point.

I didn't tell the Mr. and my girl cherub what it was.

I just fixed it and we ate.

They both agreed that they liked it!

I like the ease of it and certainly it is a new way to fix tuna!

Lazy Tuna Patties

2 - 6 oz. each, of solid white tuna, packed in water
1 box, 6 oz, stuffing mix (chicken flavor)
1/4 to 1/2 chopped onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 TBSP Dijon mustard
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup water
pepper to taste
old bay seasoning to taste

In a large bowl, add the stuffing mix and the cans of tuna. Do not drain the tuna.

Add the onion, mayonnaise and mustard to the tuna and stir until combined. Add the water, 1/4 cup at a time until you have the desired moisture content for your preference.

Personally, I added just enough to hold together, but the mixture wasn't super wet. You can add more mayo and/or mustard, if you desire. My tuna mix was just enough to hold together when formed into a patty.

Because all of the ingredients are cooked, taste your mixture for seasoning, and adjust if you wish. Of course, the stuffing mix will be crunchy, but that will soften from the water you are adding.

Allow the tuna mixture to rest for 30 minutes or longer before cooking.

In a heated pan, with a very small amount of oil or pam to reduce sticking, and using a 1/3 measuring cup, form your patties and cook until golden brown on both sides and heated thoroughly.

Serve with a dollop of tarter sauce or remoulade sauce and a side salad.

**Because of the stuffing mix, I didn't serve this as a sandwich. I thought it would be a lot of bread.
**I only used two cans of tuna, as that's what I had. I wish I had used three.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! ...
