Sardines on a roll

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cans (4 oz each) Maine Sardines
1 cup Ketchup
2 tablespoons Onion; chopped fine
1½ teaspoon Oregano
¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
6 Hamburger rolls
2 tablespoons Butter; softened
1½ cup Cheese; shredded

Directions

Drain sardines and cut into large pieces. Combine ketchup, onion, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly. Cut rolls in half and spread with butter. Place rolls on a cookie sheet and toast them lightly in the oven. Place sardines on rolls and cover with ketchup mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a moderate oven, 350 F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Dave's notes: Dump the ketchup, oregano, and garlic powder and open up a jar of Ragu Pizza Quick Sauce, adding the onions. It tastes a lot better than the "dumbed down" tomato sauce Uncle Sam came up with using ketchup.
