Creamed Tuna

Here is another simple and easy recipe that my kids love.  I was introduced to this from a friend and now I am hooked on it.  Not only is it simple and easy to make but there are endless possibilities to this recipe...I want to make it again and try it with other veggies.   It goes great with biscuits or rice.


INGREDIENTS:
2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup of flour
4 cans of tuna
2 cans of peas
1 can of mushrooms
Milk
Salt and peper to taste
Biscuits or rice


DIRECTIONS:
1. In a pot, melt both sticks of butter.  Add flour gradually until it forms a paste like.
2. Once you have that then add your milk until you get a smooth consistency   
3. Keep whisking adding milk  slowly until it makes a cream base until you get the consistency you want.
4. Add tuna (flaked with fork), peas and mushrooms
