Monday's Money Saving Recipe - Italian Tuna Melts

This is a versatile family favorite.  A great lunch or dinner on a hot day, especially when served with a cold, pasta salad.

You need:

• Loaf French Bread - sliced 1 inch thick
• Canned Tuna - drained
• Lemon juice (as much or little as you want for flavor)
• Shredded Mozzarella cheese
• Sliced or chopped black olives 
• Parsley - optional but good!

Mix tuna (season with a little garlic salt and pepper), lemon juice, olives and parsley together.  Spread mixture onto slices of bread.  Top with cheese.  Broil in the oven until cheese is melted.

You can also add roasted red bellpepper to them. 

It's also versatile because I've done the exact recipe with canned chicken.  I've also done canned chicken mixed with some chopped, cooked bacon and cheddar cheese.

You could also mix canned chicken with your favorite jarred spaghetti sauce and top it with mozzarella.

There's probably other ways to do it that I haven't thought of either!
