|  Subject: extra special Tuna gravy  Wed 07 May 2008, 2:13 pm | |
| My kids favorite meal while growing up was "tuna gravy"
it's basically the same thing recipe with a handful of grated cheese, a can of well drained tuna, a handful of frozen baby peas and a bit of cajun seasoning.
over toast points and sprinkled with paprika, it makes a pretty meal as well as being very easy, nutritious and inexpensive.
Tuna is a bit common but if you use a can of chicken (or fresh cooked chicken ), you can get away with serving the sauce in a lovely dish over toasted slices of French bread
This is another of those recipes
1 small potato per person, peeled & diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, diced
1/4 c. frozen peas
1/4 c. frozen corn
salt & pepper to taste
2tbls. oil or shortening or grease or lard ...
if desired, any left over meat - today I didn't have any so I used bacon, diced
if desired, any thing else that may sound good to you
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add potatoes, onion, carrot, bellpepper & celery. Saute until potatoes are crisp tender. Reduce heat to medium. Add salt, pepper, peas, corn & if desired meat. Stir it up good. Cover with lid and cook for 7-10 min. stirring occastionally. When potatoes are tender, it's ready to serve.
NOTE: since I added raw bacon - I added it at the beginning along with the potatoes.
