My review
Mary Pat's Tuna Melt
174
Leslie Kelly
"This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can't find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles."

If you stop after the addition of cheese and leave it as an open-faced sandwich without the cream cheese or top bread slice, you have a tuna melt. The recipe as it stands is definitely not. Tuna...

I used tuna in water and it turned out good. I would drain the tuna next time because it's a little runny which makes this very messy to eat.
