Tomato and Cheddar Tuna Melts

When I think of tuna melts, I think of a warm meal that comes together quickly and helps you resist fast food runs on those busy weeknights. Not that fast food runs are negatively looked on in any way (except the fact that they tend to happen more often then not).

Throw a few of these staple ingredients together, spread it on a crusty slice of sourdough, top it with tomatoes and cheddar cheese and.. VOILA! Dinner is done!
