Dad's Tuna Bumsteads

Growing up, my dad made Tuna Bumsteads all the time.  It was a nice variety away from your typical tuna salad and I always enjoyed the crispy bun and the gooey cheese.  Plus, they're quick and easy to make and very cheap as well.  Try them out today!

Ingredients:

- 3 to 4 cans of Tuna, drained (this will easily give you 8 sandwiches)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups mayo (depending on how you enjoy your tuna salad)
- 1 1/2 cup relish (or more if you like)**
- Sliced American cheese, such as Kraft singles
- Burger buns
- Salt and Pepper to taste

**Just a note on the relish:  When doing these again, I will probably use sweet relish as the dill, though delicious, just didn't give it the "kick" I was looking for.  However, again, this is totally based on taste.**

Directions:

1.  In a large bowl, add in your drained tuna and your chopped onion.

2.  Toss in your relish and mix well.  Add more relish if you feel you need to do so.

3.  Add your mayo and salt/pepper.  Mix well and taste.  Add more of any ingredient to meet your taste.

4.  Heat your oven to 350 degrees and line your baking sheet with your burger buns.  Add heaping spoonfuls to your buns, top with cheese, place your top bun on top and bake until the bun is crispy and the cheese is beginning to melt.

Here's the final product....

I served ours with potato chips and leftover chili from the day before.  Delicious and it brought back happy childhood memories!  What more could you ask for?  Enjoy!
