2
Tbsp

2
Tbsp
dill pickle

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the tuna, mayo or Miracle Whip, onions, dill pickles, and salt and pepper.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly on four slices of bread.
Put the sliced cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture.
Top with tomato slices, if using.
Butter one side of the remaining bread slices and put them butter side up on top of the sandwiches.
Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of butter.
When the butter is melted and sizzling, place the sandwiches in the pan butter side down.
Now, butter the side of the bread that is on top.
Cook the sandwiches, until golden brown on the bottom, then flip them over and cook the other side. That will take three to five minutes per side.
Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to cook them in batches.
To serve, cut the sandwiches in triangles. Cuz triangles are cool.
Notes
Eat these easy tuna melt sandwiches with chips and some carrots or alongside a bowl of soup.
