Creamed Tuna & Peas

This is one of the best meals ever! My mom always made it for us growing up and now I have my husband hooked on it too! It is so simple, quick and makes for a great, delicious, AND inexpensive meal. Even my picky little brothers love this which is saying a lot. My favorite way is eating it over toast but I have also had it over pasta and it is fantastic too. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

• 6 Tbsp. butter
• 6 Tbsp. flour
• 1-2 cans tuna
• 3 c. milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Frozen peas

Directions:

1.  Over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook, stirring, until butter/flour mixture is bubbling and foamy. Don't cook too long - the color shouldn't be beyond a light gold.
2. Remove pan from heat and using a whisk, gradually blend in milk. Return pan to heat and cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth, thick, and boiling.
3. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Add drained tuna and peas. Stir.
4. Serve over toast, noodles or rice.
