My grandmother made this... but she called it "Tuna Fish Gravy". I used to ask her how to make it, but she never measured, so I not figured it out. Thanks... I will make this this week. It was my favorite.

See Susan's Creamed Tuna on Toast.

Gosh, grew up eating this (but Mom used Aunt Penny's White Sauce in a can!). Your recipe sounds yummy.. oh the good old days!

Grew up in a family of TWELVE. This recipe works great for large families... 8 tablespoons of butter and 8 tablespoons of flour. 3-4 cups whole milk. 2 cans of peas. 3 cans of tuna.... Yummy. I thought my parents made up the recipe. I had no idea that other middle class families were enjoying it also. We were poor and the dishes my mom could make. We never went hungry.

I also grew up in a large family and didn't have much money. We had this for dinner a lot and I loved it. I think I'll make it for my husband tonight!!

My sister and I were brought up by our grand parents; they were very frugal and we had this at least once a week. My husband and I love it. Still watching the pennies and we are in our seventies. Thanks Cooks.com for bringing back good memories!
