You can either do a tuna melt - or do tuna and noodles- which is macaroni and cheese with tuna- Make sure you put the tuna in AFTER the mac and cheese is thoroughly mixed in- and then add a little garlic salt and lemon pepper and it's a simple, but pretty tasty meal and will fill you up.
I've always liked making tuna salad and putting crunched up potato chips in there lol call me weird but it tastes awesome!

Tuna Pasta, or Baked Tuna Casserole. I hate tuna so i dont really have good ides. Bon Appetite
Just add some mayo, chopped tomatoes, and onions. Add a splash of lime or lemon juice to taste as well as some salt and pepper. Then you can enjoy your tuna with crackers or bread.
I like tuna fish mixed in with mac %26amp; cheese and a little crushed red pepper flakes, and add some frozen peas at the end.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but tuna IS meat.
I dislike tuna as a general rule, but this is pretty good:





cook some spaghetti noodles (or pene)


let them cool down, add the tuna, mayo (to taste), some cut up hardboiled eggs (only one or two) and some green olives cut into slices.


serve cold.





my mom used to make this for us all the time when we were little.
Make tuna salad (add a little mayo or salad dressing %26amp; seasonings). Spread on bread and top with cheese. Broil until the cheese starts melting.





Italians classically use tuna in a tomato pasta sauce. Add the can to your favorite spagetti sauce.





Of course, tuna noodle cassarole in it's various forms must be mentioned.
Tuna cakes are great. You make them just like crab cakes. Sorry I dont have the time to find or type up the recipe but you can find one at foodtv.com
Mmm, I just made this recipe (no meat today) and it is fun and interesting. I added chopped apples to the tuna salad.





Oh, and for those that felt otherwise, tuna is fish, which isn't considered ';meat'; by most standards. Vegans and various types of vegetarians choose to avoid one or all of the 3 categories of meat, poultry or fish. For religious purposes, fish and seafood are ok on non-meat days. Just an FYI.
