Tuna Tug Boats

*Tuna Tug Boats*
Makes 4

This is an oldie but a goodie. My kids always loved these, and I did too!  Quite simply delicious!

1 (200g) tin of albacore tuna, drained and flaked (6.5 ounces)
(I use the one in water)
72g of good mayonnaise (1/3 cup)
a heaped dessert spoon of sweet pickle relish
(Over here the one labeled New York Deli relish by French's)
2 TBS finely chopped spring onions
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
pinch salt and black pepper
120g of strong cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup)
4 hot dog buns, split open
4 TBS of grated strong cheddar cheese to finish

Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4.  Have ready a baking dish large enough to fit the hot dog buns snug together.

Mash together the tuna, mayo, relish, onions, mustard along with the salt and pepper.  Stir in the first amount of cheddar cheese.  Fill the buns with this mixture, dividing it equally amongst them.  Place into the baking dish next to each other.  Sprinkle 1 TBS of cheese over top of each.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly and the buns are golden.  Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.  Serve warm.  Potato chips or french fries are great go withs.
