These are always a hit with the kids because they are like mini sandwiches. We love using these crescent rolls as an alternate bun for the mini sandwiches and the tuna cakes are a tasty treat that is not only price effective but easy and quick for a fast evening meal or fun lunch. Served with a side salad or fresh vegetables this meal can easily cost under $5 for a family of 4. Serving size of 2 sandwiches per person.
