Tuna Melt Sandwich

If there's one way to elevate that canned that canned tuna, then it has got to be this melty situation! It's spicy, cheesy, and that creamy tuna salad is divine on some toasted rye bread. Have you ever tried a Tuna Melt? Then today is THE day ;-)
I like to serve my sandwiches with some crisp. What about you?
