Tuna Patties

Around here on the farm you have to be ready to be a short order cook at the drop of the hat. A day that begins with “bring me a dinner bucket” turns into “I’ll be there in 20 minutes to eat”. When their knees are under the table they need something good and hot and filling. I need something good and quick to fix and this is the perfect main dish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce….our favorite dipping sauce for this is catsup!
