Bacon and Tuna - can they go together???

[FAQinglovely]

I have a small pack of bacon in the fridge, plus 2 small tins of tuna.

Making a concerted effort to use everything in my fridge/freezer/cupboards before buying new stuff.

So was thinking of a tuna/bacon pasta thing with tinned tomatoes, the remaining green pepper and onions?

Do bacon and tuna work together well or are my family going to think I've pushed the boundaries too far? (they're generally very unfussy..........)

tuna mayo sarnies for lunch, tomatoe and bacon pasta for tea.

i don't think i'd mix them myself.
but then i still get freaked out about tuna and onions

Yep bacon chopped up small, mixed with tuna, melted cheese over the top and some salad, would be what I'd do, bacon tuna melt!

there's not enough bacon to use it on it's own for a meal - otherwise I would have done (and have done in the past lol)

FAQ why not make one sauce with the toms, peppers and onions then divide it in half and add the tuna to one and the bacon to the other. One large pan of pasta and everyone gets to choose which sauce to put on top.

I'm not sure whether tuna and bacon go together, I'd be nervous of ending up with something that no-one wanted to eat!

ahh but Ali if I did that then sods law would dictate that they'd all only want to eat one of them .

I tend not to tell them exactly what's in a meal until they're half way through eating it - as DS2 is at a "oh I don't like x,y,z" phase and if I tell a meal contains those ingredients we won't eat it.

Otherwise he eats it quite happily and then does an embarrassed smirk when I reveal the ingredients that he "doesn't like"

mind you knowing my DS's they'll want both - and will mix it all together on the plate anyhow.

Shall use Frizbe's post as a "yes" and do it.

Thanks everyone.

Well I have to be minimalistic when it comes to my meals right now so I'm cooking tuna with bacon and onion with bagged No Yolk Dumplings and mushroom soup. And possibly a tomato salad on the side. If you have any ideas how I can cook potatoes with cheese and rice please let me know or any other minimalistic meals you can think of.

You'll be better to start your own thread rather than resurrect a zombie.

But as I'm here. I'd have the tuna with the rice and make a tuna rice bake.
Then have the bacon and potato. Maybe as a bacon hash.
I think you'd get more balanced meals that way.

I had to use what I was working with so I went with what I went with and hopefully it won't be too unappetizing. 🤞🤞

I'd cook the bacon so it's crispy and crumble it and sprinkle it over the top.

That bacon will be off by now bearing in mind it's been TWELVE FUCKING YEARS.
