Hard Times Creamed Tuna

"Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!"

Ingredients :

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (5 ounce) can chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bread, toasted, or to taste
