How to make Tuna Melt

Open the two cans of chunk light tuna and drain the liquid.

In a mixing bowl, add the drained tuna.

Season the tuna with celery salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small amount of salt.

Add about 1.5 teaspoons of well-drained sweet relish to the tuna.

Mix in mayonnaise gradually, starting with a little to achieve a creamy but not wet texture.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, possibly adding a pinch of sugar if desired.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of real butter, waiting for it to become bubbly.

Assemble the sandwich: place one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom slice of hearty white bread, then add a portion of the tuna mixture, followed by another slice of cheddar cheese, and top with another slice of bread.

Butter the outside of the sandwich if desired, then place it in the heated pan.

Cook the sandwich without disturbing it until golden brown around the edges, then carefully flip it to cook the other side.
