Tuna Bumsteads

I hadn't had these for at least three decades. Until Saturday night! After some considerable searching, I found my Aunt Marie's recipe in an old cookbook I put together in my 20s. (As an aside, that means you're likely to see more golden oldies on here in the next few weeks.) I've made a few substitutions so what's below is my version of the recipe. They were well received by all, and leftovers were sent for school lunches. They even taste good cold!

Aunt Marie's Tuna Bumsteads (Reboot)

1 c grated old cheddar cheese
2 cans tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 c light mayo
1 small onion, diced
1-2 stalks celery, diced
8-12 stuffed green olives, chopped (or more - these are the magic ingredient)
1/2 red pepper, diced
salt and pepper as desired

8 mini brioche buns* (or other buns of choice - hotdog buns would also work)

Mix ingredients together. Spread onto one side of bun and cover. Wrap in foil and heat in oven at 350F for 20 or so minutes, until centre is warm and cheese is melted.

* I get the Costco ones.
