Tuna Burgers

This is a great, inexpensive meal that my family loves. Add this to your menu planning once a month (or even twice) and watch your grocery budget shrink!

1 can tuna in water drained and mashed with fork (we prefer white albacore)
10-12 saltine crackers, crushed
1/4 c. onion diced
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg (1 egg per can of tuna used)
Salt and pepper to taste

Mash together ingredients with a fork and allow to sit for 30 min (in the fridge) to allow crackers to absorb moisture. Form into balls then gently pat out to form a small cake(1 can makes 4 small cakes). Heat skillet on med-high heat add olive oil and a small amount of butter. Add cakes to oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. You want them a little crisp, don't flip them too early they can fall apart - the crispy sides help keep them together. We add sliced cheese at the end to melt on top and serve on hamburger buns with mayo, lettuce and tomato. No matter how much I make - we never have any leftovers of these!
