Quick Meal- Creole Tuna

Admittedly I was very skeptical of this meal as it didn't call for many ingredients and included canned tuna with tomatoes. But it is quite delicious and an extra bonus for being quick and easy.


1/4 c chopped green pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/3 c milk
1 (14.5) oz can stewed tomatoes
1 (6 oz) can tuna, drained and flaked
1 tsp Creole seasoning

1. In a saucepan, saute green pepper in butter until tender.
2. Stir in flour, sugar, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
3. Add tuna and Creole seasoning; heat through.
4. Serve over rice (I used a brown wild rice mix)

I did make a few changes only because I didn't have them on hand (coming home from vacation leaves you without a few things like fresh veggies). I didn't have any green pepper but will definitely add next time along with some thinly sliced onions. I also didn't have Creole seasoning, so I added Paprika and about 1/4 can chopped diced chilies.
