Easy, kid-friendly tuna melt sliders perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They’re simple to make and use readily available ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider rolls
- 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery (optional, for a little crunch!)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- Butter, for toasting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery (if using), black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
- Butter the cut sides of the slider rolls. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- Spoon the tuna mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Top each with a half slice of cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rolls are lightly golden.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize the tuna mixture with other additions your kids like, like finely diced pickles or a pinch of onion powder.
- If your kids aren’t fans of celery, just leave it out!
- These are great for using up leftover hot dog or hamburger buns too – just adjust the recipe accordingly.
