This is the most charming man I’ve ever seen in my life

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for watching

[@wraithe334]

This channel is so wholesome. No politics, no drama. Right up there with Townsends as something I want to see coming up more on my feed.

[@nzdefrag]

no politics and no drama. add no religion for a perfect balance. sadly why i wont subscribe good recipes though, mostly cheers to cowboy kent

This has the be some of the best and purest content on KZbin. God bless you all especially the Cowboy Kent himself. Now time to make a tasty tuna melt.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks so much and God bless you

[@donkemp8151]

I was stationed on the Korean DMZ in 1975. Our schedule was North Day, QRF Day, and off day. On my off days, I’d go to the NCO Club for a tuna melt with a cream of mushroom soup. Man, your video brings back memories, Kent. But I bet your Cheesy Tuna Melt on Sourdough is so much better than I remember. Thanks for sharing.

[@Will-nq3fo]

Sweet now I can use all these cans of tuna my wife bought when she was panic shopping. Some people bought TP she bought tuna, go figure

[@vivilanoye9690]

Me too 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️🐟😂

Hope you enjoy

🤣🤣🤣 and here I was upset cause there wasn't any when I went and I was hoping nobody else would want it lolol She's brilliant! ❤️

Tuna pasta salad is another good Summer option! Be sure to use some of the Duke's mayo that Kent and I love so much lol!

Exactly, my mom would say then your not that hungry!

[@thomasdarby6084]

In my 68 years I've never seen someone who has so much enjoyment in what he does! Even something like a tuna melt that I remember from my single-digit years is amped up with the Kent Rollins touch. It's what Mom would cook up on the wood stove at our cabin in Sequoia National Park. Thanks for the memories... I'm making this tomorrow!

[@michaelpass2176]

I thank you coming with your good recipes, am a disabled Veteran.

[@mikenicholas8969]

Just had a hot, cheezy cowboy tuna melt. My bride said "very, very good! " and I agree. Look forward to your recipe every week. Thank you Mr and Mrs Rollins.

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

Oh this tuna really *melts* my heart! And you know you can't sour me on that *dough!*

As always, being a veteran I so very much appreciate the tip of the hat to all and the love for old glory🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. At this time in our country we need so many more Rollins families. Share his channel with all you can like I do, let’s make this a better country, one viewer at a time.

[@26muca07]

I do almost the same recipe for my tuna melts! I've been experimenting for years. Except I like to add (you say hefty but where I live we call 'em "big momma spoonfuls") a big momma tea teaspoon of Dijon, little Sour Cream too and a sprinkle of Old Bay on the butter.

[@charltonjames7616]

I was introduced to baked Tuna about the same time of my life by a neighbor who was Portuguese. Until then I had only eaten it out of a can...what a game changer!!

[@elabhines5346]

I made these tuna melts tonight for dinner... AMAZING. This is by far the best tuna melt we have ever had. It will become a regular in our kitchen. Thank you Kent!!!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Great to hear, so glad y'all enjoyed

[@elaineproffitt1032]

At one time my mother and I both worked nights at a hospital. We were big soap opera watchers too. Working nights and sleeping during the day made it almost impossible to catch our favorite soap. We figured out that the show was recapped every Friday. So every Friday I would get up and make us both tuna salad sandwiches and French Fries for lunch. Thank goodness the VCR finally made an appearance. We got our sleep, but the tuna sandwiches every Friday went by the wayside. Just the act of watching that show every Friday brings back fond memories! I used mayo, onion, pickle relish, hard boiled eggs and dressed the bread with lettuce and tomato. Yum!

When I was a kid we sent in enough labels that I had a Charlie Tuna AM radio.

[@rhoveen]

That is so AWESOME!

[@victorl.6128]

awesome indeed. do you still have it?

[@glidershower]

I hope the audio wasn't fishy, lolz. The biggest jackpot I ever won was the equivalent of $20 us dollars in mexican peso, but for a kid in 1995, boy, was I living TEH DREAM!!!

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

Fantastic video Kent, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode. Back in the late 1940's or early 1950's, my older sister saved up the labels and received an inflatable Charlie. Oh yeah. Ol' Charlie used every trick he could think of to get caught and it only got him the sign that was lowered down. "Sorry Charlie". Thanks for sharing this nostalgic trip down memory lane . Stan

[@jeff8387]

My favorite cooking show by far! We love you Kent and Shan! God bless you!

I love how you took something well known and elevated it by combining all the different flavours and ingredients. Making something simple special. I think that's what they call "fine dining". Hope you're both keeping well and safe and I will definitely be trying this.

KERRY GOLD BUTTER IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD 😊☘ 🇺🇸 🇮🇪

[@yellowbellyfts756]

Yes it Is for sure🇮🇪

[@cecilyerker]

Kerry Gold is fire 🔥 Smjör Icelandic Butter is great too but a lot of stores near me have quit carrying it.

[@panwalter9482]

fully agree. I can also get in China. Great butter for many dishes.

[@jonathanwordingham8307]

Do you get commission from Kerry?

[@jonathanwordingham8307]

Is it better than the rest of the competition? Because I tried the other stuff and ....??? I couldn't believe it

[@GPXgirl]

I always put the horseradish in my tuna, tuna and horseradish are made for each other. Relish too, secret seasoning and I add minced onions. I also use hand sliced Munster cheese. The melt on that cheese is unreal. You have to slice it yourself though from an 8 ounce block. Make the slices thick. Pre-sliced cheese doesn’t melt as well. You’ll thank me later. Tuna melt, one of my favorite sandwiches. Yum! 😋

[@jongalt9038]

Your magic never ends! Thank you!

Love that Dukes mayo in NC

Best tuna salad recipe ever. If you have Winco, stock yourself up with their plain sourdough. 1 for the counter, 2 for the freezer, is my wife’s order. I am so grateful that you, Shannon, and the tail boys are there and well. Lord knows we need as many good things we are used to hold us together as possible. Y’all doin your part.

[@susanrsmith3701]

My beagle loves tuna too! I love watching your videos and I bought your cookbook. Thank you for another great recipe!

[@plaidomelette4358]

The only type of tuna I’ve had or made was just Hellman’s and seasoned bread crumbs, over time I’ve added some old bay, salt and pepper. But this recipe looks pretty good and I really wanna try it. Maybe minus capers, I find them to be really strong in flavor.

[@billyworthy5764]

Love all your videos!! Thanks from Bentonia Mississippi!!

[@slop101]

I'd add thin slices of tomato in there too. I don't normally like tomatoes in sandwiches, but they go really well on a tuna melt, tying the whole thing together.

[@georgecrosby113]

Three words for tuna salad..... Old Bay Seasoning!!😎 aka....Severn River Rat seasoning!!!!

[@K4tsur4gi]

Hell yeah!! 🛶

[@StephenSard]

As a 6th generation Eastern Shoreman, I can confirm this. Old Bay makes everything better. For this, I would add it to the butter, vs put it in the tuna mix. If in the mix, it will overpower it. But a light dusting on the bread will lift it right nice.

[@26muca07]

I usually always have some Old Bay compound butter in the fridge I make at home for my tuna melts.

[@seedsofsolitude8482]

true marylander hell yeah lol

[@StephenSard]

@MrGizmo757 Im on the mid-shore. Yeah Tuna is not something I would put Old Bay in, but it does make for a good mix-in with the butter for the bread. Plain old grilled cheese with Old Bay butter is ungodly good. I do like it on ice cream as well lol

[@contrapezist]

I stopped this, quickly drove to the store to pick up what I didn't have before they closed at 9 came back and watched the rest.

[@RatdogDRB]

I have a love/hate relationship with tuna. (Yeah, I remember "Sorry Charlie" tuna commercials) I love a well made tuna sammich. However, as a kid, one of my aunts "rern't me" on tuna-smish sammiches. Auntie's tuna-smish went sorta like this.... buy/open a can of tuna packed in oil and dump into a bowl (don't drain the oil), glop on an equal amount of "salad dressing" (plastic mayo), and pack it onto some Wonder Bread. As you bit into it, the oil ran down your arm. To this day, I'll probably turn it down if asked... but will enjoy it if it's put in front of me. LOL That looks like a winner of a tuna melt.

[@scamp7441]

I had an Aunt that did that too except she added chopped onion and chopped pickles. The only time that I would choose the leave it part of take it or leave it.
