HOT TUNA SANDWICH

This easy recipe is from a cookbook put out by Dorothy Mengering, mother of Late Night talk show host David Letterman. I like it for the addition of the jalapeno pepper; if you don't like it as spicy you can use regular green pepper.

Need a little variety in your tuna sandwich for lunch? This recipe's a winner. Hot, creamy, and spicy (although you can leave out the jalapenos if you prefer). You won't want to eat a plain tuna sandwich after this. Recipe from Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom (David Letterman).
