Mexican Tuna Loaf
"A great quick lunch to throw together when you have unexpected company. I usually add some of the salsa in the tuna mix and then top with salsa & some cheese for the last few minutes of baking."

My family didn't like this. The creamed corn was very sweet and as my husband put it " there were too many flavors competing with one another" Definately won't make again -
This is a very enjoyable recipe. I didn't use the creamed corn as I dislike it (it's far to sweet). I added some diced carrot, garlic and used Southwestern flavor Eggbeaters. I think it could have used some more chili powder. The outcome was a treat with the salsa. I made 2 small loaves which works well for me. It's very quick to mix up and makes a very nice loaf. Thanks for posting this Mandy.

Terrific week day family meal - very easy to whip up and enjoyed by all - I sprinkled it with cheese but otherwise kept to the recipe. Versatile too as you could add other leftover vegies or I thought you could cook it in a pie shell as it would be a great filling for a quiche. Thanks Mandy fromOz
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
