    Cheesy Tuna Bombs are a great snack or small meal!  If you enjoy tuna melts, you will love this recipe! Fast and easy, just the way we like them!

    Cheesy Tuna BombsI have always been a fan of the tuna melt and these are a fabulous substitute when I get a tuna melt craving!   Whenever the mood strikes you!  Grab a tube or two of refrigerated biscuits and a can or two of tuna and you are ready to go!  You just have to decide how many you want to make!

    Every time I make these  Cheesy Tuna Bombs I try and put as much cheese as possible into each one!   Ken, my husband on the other hand, prefers less cheese and always places less cheese than I do!  Even still, they always taste so yummy!  We have even used canned chicken or crab and still the results are phenomenal!  Cheesy Tuna Bombs

    Ingredients for Cheesy Tuna Bombs

    • refrigerated biscuit dough tube
    • tuna
    • mayo
    • green onions
    • pepper
    • shredded cheese
    • butter
    • poppy seeds

    Options

    • pickles
    • tomato
    • celery

    How to make Cheesy Tuna Bombs

    Drain can of tuna and dump contents into a bowl. 

    Add mayonaise, green onions and pepper. Set aside.

    Grab 2 biscuits and flatten both together until they are about ¼ of an inch thick. 

    Place a pinch or two of cheese on top of each dough round. 

    Next, add a few tablespoons of your tuna mixture, and another pinch or two of cheese. 

    Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch all of your edges to seal into a ball. 

    Place each of your tuna bombs into your prepared pan with the edges at the bottom.   

    Brush the tops with melted butter then sprinkle with poppy seeds.

    Bake until your biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm. 

    This recipe makes five Cheesy Tuna Bombs.
