Kittencal's Tuna Melt Sandwich

Trust me you will be craving this often once you try it! --- you may use regular white salt but the seasoned salt is better, also use as much cheese and tomato slices as desired, I sometimes add in some chopped sweet yum yum pickles to the tuna filling too --- low-fat mayonnaise and cheese may be used

I am not a big tuna fan but I have been looking for ways to incorporate it into my diet. This recipe was fantastic. We loved the combination of flavors. Thanks Kittencal- I know I can always trust your recipes.

    Made this on a thick French Roll and used Provolone cheese instead of Swiss. This is delicious!

    Another one to easily rate 5 stars!This is now a staple in our home. A quick go-to meal that everyone, kids included, LOVE! However, if you let it sit in the fridge and let the flavors meld it tastes even better.

    So I'm thinking to myself, I've had them before so how could a tuna melt be so "wonderful"? WELL, I made it (just to see what all the hype was about) and I tell you what, it is WAY better than wonderful - it's outstanding!!! The tomatoes in between the swiss cheese are so perfect. I had to make my own season salt (we seemed to have every spice known to man in our cabinet except that one - so I looked up the ingredients on the internet and voila! we now have home made seasoned salt)but it was quite easy and definitely worth it! Thanks for changing my mind about tuna melts!!!
