Creamed Tuna on Toast

This is the first meal I remember making as a child for my family. There were lots of us and boy, did I make a lot of toast! For me, this is a very simple, satisfying, and quick meal as well as a comfort food. I was surprised when my kids asked for it for dinner last night - apparently they love it!

 

Argo's Classic White Sauce

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 cups

4 tablespoons Argo Corn Starch
1 quart milk
8 tablespoons butter OR margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Stove Top: Combine corn starch and milk in a small saucepan; stir until smooth. Add butter, salt and pepper. Stirring constantly, simmer over medium heat for 1 minute.


Microwave: Combine corn starch and milk in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl; stir until smooth. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 2 minutes; remove and stir. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes more, or until mixture thickens and boils for 1 minute. Remove from microwave. Stir in butter, salt and pepper.

After preparing the white sauce, add two cans of drained tuna and 1 can drained peas (or 1 1/2 c. frozen).
Once the tuna and peas are heated, spoon over slices of lightly buttered toast and serve.
