One of my favorite subjects when I was going to school was Home Economics, and no surprise, the cooking section of the year was my favorite section! One year in the class we made these fabulously tasty Tuna Pizza Burgers. I fell in love with them and have been making them ever since! My children also loved them! They are the perfect snack to bake for the kids when they fly through the door at the end of the school day "starving to death!"
This month's Degusta Box was themed the "Back To School" box and once I saw the ingredients, I immediately knew what I wanted to make. My favorite Back to School Tuna Pizza Burgers!
Every month I am the happy recipient of a Degustabox. I love these boxes. Opening each one is a bit like opening a Christmas box. Always a surprise and always filled with things I want to try. Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a range of specially selected foodie products. There's always a great mix of new products that I haven't tried before, as well as plenty of treats from more established brands. Quite often you will have the opportunity to try new products before they arrive in the shops, so it can be a bit of a sneak peak! Each Degustabox costs £12.99, delivery costs are included in the price, and there is no fixed contract involved - you can cancel at any time. I love getting these boxes!!
Before we get to the recipe a little bit about what was in the August Box.

Seabrook is the original crinkle cut crisp. The variety pack brings together the three most popular Seabrook flavours - Sea Salted, Sea Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion. Everyone has their favorite Seabrook flavor.... What's yours? Personally I like all the flavours, but I am afraid I am a bit boring in saying that sea salted ticks all my boxes all the time.

Over 100 years ago Richard Hellmann created Hellmann's in a deli in New York. He marked his best products by tying a blue ribbon around them. This blue ribbon is still found on the label and signifies our ongoing commitment to great quality products. For a long, long time, we've been committed to sustainable farming, responsible business, and doing right by the people who help us make Hellmann's. Not just because we think it makes our products better, but also because it's the right thing to do. It's why we only use 100% free-range eggs and source 100% of our oils responsibly in our mayonnaise. Our Real Mayonnaise is also a good natural source of Omega 3!
