I know what you’re thinking: Tuna Loaf? Ewww. But don’t knock it before you’ve tried it. Not only is this meal inexpensive (tuna’s only $0.69 per can, after all), it’s also filling enough to satisfy my meat-loving husband yet yummy enough to please my two picky kids. As for me, I love that it’s quick, easy and low in both calories and fat.
