Notes

u003cliu003eThese Dill Pickle Tuna Melts are best served right away. If you save for later, to reheat place sandwich on non-stick skillet on low heat and warm on both sides for a few minutes. u003c/liu003eu003cliu003e*You can add whatever type of chips you like or prefer, you can even omit the chips if you do not want them in the sandwich. u003c/liu003e
