I will admit, there is absolutely nothing about this recipe that made sense to me growing up, other than I really liked it. Mama made it often as a way to stretch a dollar.
But, Mama also told us that you shouldn't drink milk with fish. So when I found out she used milk to make this for us, I had some moments of uncertainty ... was my saint of a mother trying to get rid of me?? LOL!
Bottom line, it always reminds me of home and four hungry kids whose mom always served up dishes made with lots of love!Directions
Melt margarine or butter in a skillet over medium to low heat (don't burn the butter). Add flour and brown to make a light roux.Stir in the milk to make a gravy, stirring to keep from sticking until it reaches desired thickness.Add the tuna, stir, and heat well.Toast bread until lightly browned (no butter, just plain toast) and serve tuna over the toast.

I know this is good because I make a similar dish sometimes for my lunch. I mix a can of cream of mushroom soup in a sauce pan with a can of undrained tuna, water or oil packed. stir well & add half a soup can of milk. Heat on medium & pour over buttered toast or add butter to the sauce pan. sometimes I add black pepper, onion or garlic salt.

Oh my gosh! Thank you for sharing this! I remember my mother making this for us on Friday nights when I was a young girl growing up in the fifties in Queens, New York! I always loved it and gobbled it down right away. The only problem was that she served it with canned peas, the only kind we ever had back then. I hated those peas with a passion and would push them all around my plate for as long as I could. Of course, in those days I was not permitted to leave the table until I was "excused" and that wasn't until everything on my plate was finished and my mom thought I was grateful enough that I had peas on my plate considering all the starving children in China! Fortunately, when I was older she discovered fresh peas, which I adore. To this day, when I think of Creamed Tuna on Toast, I can still hear her say, "Eat your peas. Eat your peas!" Now I can't wait to make it again!
