Mozzarella Tuna Melts

By: Jo Maasberg

"While the soup simmers, Jo assembles tasty Mozzarella Tuna Melts. 'Our daughter's home economics teacher shared the recipe for these all-American favorites,' she notes. Using a mini food processor to chop the celery and onion for the filling helps shave preparation time. Then Jo just pops the sandwiches in the oven."
