Tasty Tuna Burgers


I had a couple of cans of tuna in my pantry, and I didn't want to go to the store...I know..lazy! Off to the internet I went to find a new recipe using canned tuna. This is the recipe I found, and the best part is I had everything in my pantry (except the red pepper). I was skeptical, but I really enjoyed this sandwich! This recipe is a keeper!


Here's what you need:

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

  • 1/3 cup minced onion

  • 1/4 cup minced celery

  • 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce

  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

  • 4 hamburger buns

  • 1 tomato, sliced

  • 4 leaves of lettuce (optional)
Here's what you'll do:

  1. Combine tuna, egg, bread crumbs, onion, celery, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, hot chili sauce, chili sauce, dill, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired.  

  2. Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray; fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them.  

  3. Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.


Enjoy!
