Pineapple Tuna Cracker Snack

Mrs. Overwhelmed with Joy is certainly challenging me this week, I was determined to stick to freezer meals, but a freezer meal appetizer or snack??? I thought about just reposting my taco chili recipe again, after all, it is always a hit, and we always love it. Or the land of nod cinnamon buns that use freezer dough (although you can use fresh too). Or the famous mushrooms that disappeared very quickly, even though it is not a freezer meal.

But you deserve better than that, so I went back to thinking about this.

Some days I am certain I am raising a herbivore as getting Miss Pear to eat meat is often tricky, but there is one trick I have in my arsenal that never fails. It is great on crackers as a snack, it is great on bread as a sandwich, and is great over salad too! It is....

Pineapple Tuna Mix

2 x 6 oz cans of chunk tuna (I try to get the albacore as it works great in this recipe!)
1 x 8 oz package of cream cheese
1 x 20oz (or there abouts) can of crushed pineapple, drained (save the juice for this recipe so you can double it). If you don't drain it you end up with a slimy mess, don't ask how I know...

Mix three ingredients together (electric mixer helps to get the cream cheese nicely blended and lighten the consistency).

Chill to let all the flavors come together.

Serve as a cracker topping or in a sandwich!

To freeze this mixture, just pop in in the appropriate sized zip top bag, press out as much air as you can, label it, and freeze flat to conserve space!
