Ingredients

• 12 oz Canned tuna (drained)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp Dill pickle relish
• 0.5 cup Finely diced onion
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 6 pieces Soft sandwich buns
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dill pickle relish, finely diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Optional: If you prefer toasted buns, melt the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat and lightly toast the inside of each sandwich bun until golden brown.

Step 4

Place the bottom halves of the sandwich buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Generously spread the tuna mixture onto each of the bottom halves of the buns, ensuring even coverage.

Step 6

Place the top halves of the buns on top of the tuna mixture, pressing down slightly.

Step 7

Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from over-toasting and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the aluminum foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the buns are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tuna Bumsteads!
