Preparation and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 4 oz. grated cheddar, 7 oz. can water packed tuna, 1/4 cup minced green pepper, 1 tsp. dried onion, 3 diced hard cooked eggs, 3 tbsp. dill pickle relish, and 4 tbsp. low-fat salad dressing until thoroughly mixed.
- Fill each of the 10 hamburger buns evenly with the tuna mixture.
- Wrap each filled bun individually in aluminum foil to seal in the moisture.
- Place the wrapped buns on a baking sheet and heat in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the buns are hot and soft.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Buns can be assembled and wrapped in foil ahead of time, then refrigerated. Increase baking time by 5 to 10 minutes if baking directly from the refrigerator.
