Come along as I make a family favourite recipe for Bumsteads. My Dad prepared the ingredients and my niece, Katie, served as technical director. Try the recipe and let me know how you like them!
Bumsteads
1 6.5 ounce can of drained tuna
1/4 pound of cubed cheese; preferably Velveeta, but can be any cheddar
3 hard boiled eggs, diced
3 tablespoons of pickle relish
2 tablespoons of white onions, chopped

Mix all together, spread on open hamburger buns and heat in a 400 degree oven until lightly browned.

[@CheriJ11]

You are so welcome! I hope you love it!

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

What a cute family! That recipe sounds GREAT! I had completely forgotten about these!

[@CheriJ11]

Awww, thanks. So, you've heard of these before? No one I know personally has ever heard of them!

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

Oh yeah definitely! These were a popular sandwich when I was young. I’m 60 years old, from the Midwest. Idk if that was a Midwest thing or maybe my generation

[@alisonthomson4142]

It looks yummy & I’ll bet like you say it’s lovely on a cold sandwich with nice brown bread or how about with a jacket potato, very versatile. Your niece looks lovely, like she’ll be good fun & your Dad looks like he’s wondering what you’re going to get up to next😄this video made me smile🙂thank you.

[@CheriJ11]

I'm so happy the video made you smile! Ooooh, on a jacket potato... what a great idea! I've got to try that! Thanks for the idea. Are you going to try the recipe? Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰

My mom used to make these but she put the cheese on top and place em in the broiler... she liked to use toasted English muffins or hamburger buns - it was always a treat to have these for lunch

[@CheriJ11]

@@reikiwithcary2682 , I feel like my Mom may have broiled them a bit at the end of the cooking time. Toasted English muffins sound like an excellent option!! I might try that next time!

Oh my goodness that looks delicious.Wow never had an olive til now did she like it?Love your videos Thank you for sharing Cheri your Dad is a cutie❤

[@CheriJ11]

I think she’s never had an olive coz her Dad doesn’t like them. She wasn’t sure if she liked it or not. 🤪 My Dad will be tickled you think he’s a cutie. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🥰

[@judithburgess8222]

I just made these for lunch and they were delicious! I will make them again as we enjoyed them so much!

[@CheriJ11]

So glad you liked them!

[@barbarashort9304]

Those look delicious!❤

[@CheriJ11]

They are soooo good! If you try them, I hope you like them. 🥰

[@judithburgess8222]

They look so delicious! I believe I’ve made them years ago but wrapped them in aluminum foil. They’re also nutritious. Very interesting video. Judy from Nova Scotia

[@CheriJ11]

Hey Judy! I love Nova Scotia! My Mom was born in Nova Scotia and we went there every summer when I was a kid. Best memories ever. Yes, some people wrap the bumsteads in foil to heat them. That way they get all melty but not toasted on top. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@janesmith5871]

I grew up eating something almost identical to this and it didn't have a name---HotTunaSandwiches is the only thing we ever called it. Definitely will try it with cheese, and when I heard you say olives, I knew we were talking about the same food. :) The filling just wouldn't be the same without them

[@CheriJ11]

I agree about the olives. They just make it. Well, that and the Velveeta cheese! Lol. To me, Hot Tuna Sandwich doesn't sound appealing; I'm glad I never knew them as that. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kathygrosvenor4464]

You’re terrific! Thanks!!

[@CheriJ11]

Thank you so much! You are so kind.

[@debrahubscher2514]

Looks yummy!.😊

[@CheriJ11]

They really are yummy! Try them!

[@ararepenny2739]

Your niece and dad are adorable. How did they like the recipe?

[@CheriJ11]

Thank you so much! They loved it! 🥰

[@WendyMills-f5t]

Looks great! I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@daisyhong-nelson660]

This is like tuna melt.

[@maishal.9152]

Next time you could use a fork to mash up the eggs if you don’t chop them beforehand. I did it that last time I made tuna salad!

[@CheriJ11]

Great idea! Mashing with a spoon is not nearly as effective!
