Mmmmmmm I sure do love a good Tuna Melt! Can I ask you what the Smart Points are for the English Muffins you used? I can get mine for 2 SP. So if yours are 3 or more, I can shave another point off my lunch. 🙂
Martha McKinnon
Hi Kristine, the English Muffin I used had 3 SP so shave away 🙂
Gail Bienstock
Tuna Melts are a favorite for me. They're also one of the ways I get in lots of extra veggies. By mincing carrots, celery, onion and green pepper (or other colors if that's what's on hand) and mixing them into the tuna mix, I feel like I'm having a larger meal, with varied taste. I often add cuke slices on top for even more veggie strength.
Bobbie Hulderman
Surprisingly easy to prepare and very enjoyable too.
Mary
At the top of the recipe it says 4 Freestyle Points but at the bottom it says 6. I’d love to try them - is it 4 or 6? I’m new! Thank you!
Martha McKinnon
Sorry about that Mary. I re-checked it in the WW Recipe Builder and it should be 5 WW Freestyle SmartPoints. I've updated it. Thanks for pointing this out. - Martha
Donna Lawrence
Absolutely delicious! Lots of variations are given in the recipe notes, so you won’t become bored with this meal.
Janice Hunt
This is sooooo good. I just feel so special eating it
Suzanne Lewis
Oh my! I’m hooked (if you’ll pardon the pun) so easy and so very delicious . This isn’t something I’d come across in the UK so thank you
Denise Sigel
Love this tuna melt with tomato soup in the cold weather. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Great recipe.
Grace
I used to make this for my boys when they were little. Didn't realize I was serving WW items to them. They loved these muffins and so did I. Very easy to make.
Mary
Love this. Haven't had one since I was a kid, but they are still delicious!
kate
It really hit the spot today. Just added some sauted vegetables. Using English muffins was exactly what it needed.
Evelyn
I do not like Tuna, can I substitute canned chicken for the tuna? Would it be the same points?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Evelyn, Canned chicken would work well as a substitute, however you would want to add 1 point. ~Martha
Teri Miller
