Tuna Wellingtons With Pimento Cheese Sauce Recipes

TUNA RING WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Filling: Beat egg slightly; set aside 2 T egg.
• Stir tuna, onion, cheese, parsley, celery salt, and pepper into remaining egg.
• (You can do this part ahead and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.) Dough: Stir baking mix& water to a soft dough.
• Knead 5 times on a floured cloth covered board.
• (I just do this on a floured surface.) Roll out into a rectangle.
• Spread with filling.
• Roll up to make a long roll.
• Place sealed edge down on greased baking sheet.
• (I make a circle or a half-circle.) With scissors, make cuts 2/3 deep at 1"-2" intervals.
• (I slightly turn each piece to show filling.) Brush top with reserved egg.
• Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make cheese sauce.
• Cheese Sauce: Melt butter over low heat.
• Blend in baking mix, salt, and pepper.
• Cook over low heat, stirring, until smooth and bubbly.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in milk.
• Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
• Boil and stir one minute.
• Stir in cheese until melted.
• (I rarely bring this to a boil. I just make sure it's nice and hot, bringing the heat up slowly. Maybe it's my own quirk, but I don't scorch the milk that way. I slice the tuna ring and serve the slices and pass the cheese sauce. This is so yummy!).
