I know what you're thinking... You think I have done lost my marbles (if you aren't thinking that you must not have looked at the ingredients to this recipe yet)! So, before you turn up your nose and discount this recipe please listen to my advice. Don't knock it til you try it. I found this one in Jim Bob and Michelle Duggars book The Duggars: 20 and Counting! and thought if they all love it, then it must be good. I had the tuna and bbq sauce. I just figured if it was yucky I could just throw it away. I started off mixing a few spoonfuls of the tuna with the sauce (I didn't want to waste all the tuna if it was gross). I took one bite and immediately starting mixing the whole can with the sauce. It's really good! It doesn't taste like tuna at all. You must try this. Seriously! You could eat it on crackers, rice cakes, toast, or on bread like a sandwich. I loved the story behind this recipe in the book too. Michelle was away at a week long conference and Jim Bob was left to feed the kids (there were only 8 or so at the time). He went to make tuna sandwiches and couldn't find the mayo, so being resourceful he dumped in bbq sauce and it was an immediate hit. This is the way the family actually prefers it now. I think it looks very good (it's after you learn the ingredients you start turning your nose up). Speaking of looking good.... did anyone check out the finale of Biggest Loser last night? Never mind how great the contestants looked, did you see how amazing Allison Sweeney looked after delivering her daughter in January?!? What a knockout.
JIM BOB'S AMAZING BBQ
6 cans tuna, well drained
1 18 oz. bottle bbq sauce (they suggest Kansas City Masterpiece)
Mash tuna in a mixing bowl to break apart. Add bbq sauce and mix (the more sauce the better). Spread on bread, buns, or crackers.
*I scaled this recipe down. I mixed one tuna pouch with enough bbq sauce to coat it very well

I wonder how they thought of that? Maybe one of their kids just threw it together one day and it was an instant hit!
