Tuna Buns

We cooked for the homeless shelter on Saturday and thank goodness, it actually went really well. There were fewer people there than we expected, but the leftovers were packaged up to be used at a later time. Here are some pictures from the process, and the recipe for the main dish we used (from my mom):

Tuna Buns
10 cans oil-packed tuna, drained and flaked
15 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
2/3 c. chopped sweet pickle (or relish)
1 lb. American cheese, finely cubed
2 c. Mayonaise
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients and heat at 300 degrees for 20 minutes.
Stuff small dinner rolls with mixture. Yield: 5-6 dozen.

YUM! As an added bonus, this is pretty inexpensive, super high-protein, and due to the mixture of ingredients besides tuna, it really doesn't taste "fishy" at all.

All mixed together

The cats were happy to help us clean out the 30 empty cans

We also made a ton of brownies

The final outlay: three batches of tuna bun mixture, ~120 dinner rolls, many pounds of apples and bananas,
six batches of brownies, a bin of pretzels, and 10 bags of peas. Not pictured: 3 gallons of milk
