here's my favorite casserole when i was 18-25.

in a deep dish alternate layers of chilli, fritos, cheddar cheese. then put three more layers on. bake at 350 for 20 minutes. eat.

damn good.


what's your favorite easy and bad for you recipes?

That actualy sounds awesome-baked frito pie!

Before the wife came along and made me start cooking 'real' food, one of my favorite meals was to chop up a couple hotdogs, throw some bbq sauce in a pan, simmer it for 5 minutes until hot, throw it on a plate and chow down. Serve with a side of beer.

Oh man
You dont wanna KNOW some of the stuff I've come up with
:)

haha...........2 kilos of chicken wangs and 500 mls of bbq and or sweet chilli sauce......and about 1 bottle of coke/rum to wash it down...............................then let ur room mate clean it in the morning

we also used to buy a large bag of bacon scraps from smart and final and fry a ton of them until the house was smokey. then pour on mustard and watch boxing. (back when middle weights ruled... sugar ray, haggler, duran etc...)

living in america!

Ramen noodles with sausage and spaghetti sauce.

It only takes about five minutes to make, it's dirt cheap, and it is better than just ramen.

You can also crack an egg into your ramen a bit before it's done and mix it up good. It adds enough substance to make it seem like a real meal, and eggs don't cost much of anything. If you have some leftover (cooked) breakfast sausage to throw in along with it, that's even better.

fake pizza, made with everything except crust, on a sheet of foil.

Also one of my favorite toppings for a real pizza is cut-up slim jims

i say... burritos and tacos :D

thats just wrong.

idea: friend told me u get hamburger helper and just mix in any leftovers u got.

hehehe...I went through a stage where I was really into grease.

slim jims. never thought of that.

i wonder how they'd be in omlettes or in lasagna?

Left over rice and some cooked hamburger add a little bit of that powdery cheddar crap. You can use elbow noodles too.

My roommate made this "thing" with milk, thyme, coriander(I didn't even know we had any) pepper, cumin and curry. He simmered this for hours and the place stank for days.

take a hot dog bun smear it with peanut butter add mustard and cheese and it taste just like a chili dog

Just remembered another one...peanut butter sandwiches made with pop-tarts instead of bread...

Fake pizza made with bread, american cheese, and ketchup under the broiler.

Kraft Mac 'n Cheese mix with cut-up turkey franks and peas thrown in.

Yogurt and M&M pudding; throw the M&Ms into the yogurt and mix in _Lots_ of sugar. Not recommended. Tastes weird, and also the acid in the yogurt will cause the food coloring to bleed off the M&Ms into the mixture, makes interesting colored trails through the yogurt.

Spaghetti sandwich. Leftover spaghetti and sauce, hot or cold, between two pieces of bread, with lots of mayo and some Swiss cheese. Unlike the other dishes I've described, I would still eat this. If my wife would let me.

Take a bun. Add ketchup and barbecue sauce. Eat.

the peanut butter sandwiches made with poptarts sounds good. should i just use plain strawberry or blueberry poptarts or does any kind work? (like the new finding nemo flavor)

i still eat spaghetti sandwiches except i use lots of butter and pepper. it's like a carb bomb.

Vienna sausages thrown in a crock pot with BBQ sauce and grape jelly - to die for!!! :D

K. Try this. fry up 3 or 4 strips of bacon and fry em up real crispy like. Take the bacon out and crumble it up then throw in some diced up taters and onion and fry it in the bacon grease. then when thats done whip up a couple of eggs and throw it on top of the potato and onion mixture and stir the hell out it. Just before the eggs are done throw the bacon back in and mix. A little parsley and salt and pepper and instant heart attack. I used to love this for sunday morning breakfast.

this is how i used to gain weight in high school.
i was 6 feet tall and 125 lbs as a freshman.

take half a package of bacon and fry it. then take out bacon.
put a tortilla in the bacon grease and shred half a block of cheddar cheese on top. add the bacon and another tortilla on top. fry the whole thing until crispy.

i could hear my blood slow to a crawl after eating this.

i have no clue why i have high cholesteral now. ;)

A soft tortia shell ,a little tomato sause,some shredded cheese,anything else you like and a few min. in the oven.Much better then any frozen pizza

get a bagel - cut it in two

get a block of cheese - cut 3 semi-thin slices off

put cheese in triange shape in between bagel slices

get ham slices - you know, the deli kind - fill up said bagel slices with ham

microwave

more addictive food ever!

Take your leftover Chinese food and mix them together and bake them. Trust me... you can mix tons of different kinds together and it tastes great.

Fill a casserole dish with alternating layers of mashed potatoes and cheese, put a couple hotdogs on top, add more cheese and throw in the oven for a bit.

Man, when I was a lot younger and poorer I remember eating dorito sandwiches.

My room mate and I would buy a loaf of cheap bread, big bag or Doritos and mustard. Make a sandwich and eat.

Ramon noodles were cheap but damn, that meant cooking!

KD/orange death with one or more of the following:

Chef Boyardee Ravioli
Puritan Irish Stew
Chilli

Really stuffs you to the gills

well I am an expert at being both a Bachelor and Trash....

the laziest way wold be to simply dunk a spoon into a jar of chunky P-nut butter then into a jar of honey and eat...repeat untill you need to smoke another bowl.

However remember guys...the best way to get Laid it to actually learn how to cook. Bring a girl home and throw down better than her own mother and she will take care of the desert. Penne A-la_Vodka is my favorite..you even get to light it on fire

Super nachos:

Can of chili
Bunch of shredded cheddar cheese
Little bit o salsa

Nuke, stir till goopy
Dunk chips.
Mmmm....fond memories.

the above one and the leftover chinese food bake made me laugh out loud.

and peanut butter and honey by the spoon was a staple food for many a year. (you can also eat well by filling up on all the freebies at grocery stores/costco etc...)

Here's one I learned from my step-dad (bachelor well into his 30's):

Slice a banana lengthwise

Spread Miracle Whip (mayo just doesn't have the "zing") on the cut sides

Sprinkle with paprika

Consume.

Suprisingly good.


At college, I ran out of food, and discovered all the ways you can dine on Guacachips and Diet Pepsi for one week, using only a microwave.

WHITE TRASH CASSEROLE

1 pound tater tots (still frozen)
1 can of cream of ___________ soup (mushroom, chicken, asparagus, whatever,
condensed, undiluted)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Velveeta)

Mix it all up in a casserole dish, saving 1/2 cup cheese/ Velveeta for the top. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. YUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYY!!!!

One more:

WHITE TRASH DELIGHT

2 TABLESPOONS DILL RELISH
1/4 CUP MIRACLE WHIP OR MAYO

WRAP 'EM UP IN ALUMINUM FOIL AND PUT 'EM ON A BAKING SHEET. BAKE AT 350 DEGREES FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES - 'TIL THE CHEESE IS MELTED. MAKES 4 SERVINGS - UNLESS ONE FELLER IS A PIG AND EATS 'EM ALL.

Get a cuccumber and cut it in to spears. Cover those with lemon juice, salt, and chili powder. Give ya a little zing.

2 buns, cold meat, cornchips, cheese, olives pasted with salsa sauce.

Grilled Cheese :D

This thread is awesome! Since I'm still a young guy (21) I get to try all of these!

I'm a big fan of BBQ pork nachos. Get some Tostitos, sprinkle on some shredded cheese, add BBQ pork, top off with more cheese, and throw it in the microwave!

I actually got the idea from a BBQ resturant once. Can't remember where.

I made this for my roommate when I was in college. We both about died.

Toast one slice of Texas Toast. Put one large burger patty on it (ours were about 1/2lb each). Then a slice of american cheese. Then one egg (over easy or sunny side up). Then another slice of cheese. Then cover the whole thing with steaming hot chili, and consume. Bacon can also be added on the burger patty beneath the cheese...

The whole plate felt like it weighed about 4lbs, and it just destryoed us. We didn't need to eat for a day or two...

Crazy Dip
 

5 Big spoonfulls of cottage cheese
1 big spoonfull of cour cream
3 big spoonfulls of pickle relish
add salad supreme or spike and hot sauce to taste

serve with nacho cheese dorritos. trust me, it works.:thumbsup:

yeah!! the best way this is done though is the morning after a nice dutch oven dinner with dutch oven taters and dutch oven cube steak. same thing with the bacon and eggs. throw it all in one oven and heat it up over the coals.... mmmmmmm nothin better

this sandwich is good.... three slices of bread. take one slice and using a cup or glass just smaller than the width of the bread, cut the center out. take a full slice and put cheddar cheese...(like a grilled chees sandwich) then the slice of bread with the center cut out. fill that center hole with chili. cover with another layer of cheese. slap the other slice of bread on top, butter and throw in a pan and cook just like a grilled cheese sandwich, only with a chili upgrade.

I'd just like to say "Three cheers for Ready Made bacon!" Just made a sandwich with it and didn't even have to fry up the bacon. It's so much easier to just throw away a paper towel than clean up a pan. Only 5 seconds per slice too. Yummy.

1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup yogurt
1 cup blue berries
1 cup cereal flakes
2 Tablespoons peanut butter

mix, eat, repeat as necessary.

Had two servings this evening.

Wow lol ... some of this stuff actually sounds good (greasy, and fattening, but damn good). I've never come up with anything as creative as the recipes mentioned here, but here's something -

Stirfry with whatever leftovers are in the fridge

Actually turned out quite well too :D

Death by Cholesterol:

deep fry a batch of french fries until they are nice and crispy
put them in a bowl
cover them with blocks of velveeta, bacon bits, olives, onions
cover that with shredded cheddar cheese
bake for about 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven or until cheese is melted
add herbs, sour cream, onions
enjoy

Toast.

Or pasta and whatever I happen to have lying around (corned beef, baked beans, chilli con carne in a can, cheese, butter...)

tuna noodle jive
 

any noodles
can of cream soup
can of tuna fish (packed in water - oil tuna makes this dish gross)
*can of peas optional


cook noodles according to package instructions.
drain noodles.
add everything else & simmer for however long it takes you to crap/walk the dog/beat off/find the remote.......or whatever other bachelor activity you may be multi-tasking with.


ENJOY!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

I ate several "fake" grilled chees sandwiches in college. Two peices of break with shredded cheese between thrown in the microwave. There was an Aldi Grocery store about 2 blocks from my dorm. A loaf of bread for 49 cents and 2 packages of cheese for a buck. Sometimes I would throw some bacon bits on the sandwich too.

I remember when i was disgustingly poor.

I was living off of SPAM and ramen and water. Not fun.

NOTE: You cann't marinate SPAM. It doesn't work. I tried. :)

Mom taught me this one, it has served me well.

You'll need:

Tortilla Chips (any kind)
1 Can of Chili
Some cream cheese
Regular cheese *optional*

Spread cream cheese into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Pour some chili over that
Then more cream cheese
Then more chili :D
-repeat 'til out of supplies-

Stick in the oven for 5-10 mins, depending on how hot you want it to be ;)

Cooks fast and is easy to make.

Beer Battered Eggs

Toss 3-4 eggs, some potato slices ( or tater tots ) and some cheese into a frying pan. Scramble the living hell out of them, and start dumping beer on them. Fry some bread next to it and you have yourself one helluva breakfast.

Dumping beer on anything improves the taste tenfold.

pizza omlets take 6 eggs and a pinch of milj (if you have it) then chop up left over pizza (i like to use peperoni) cook it up in apan and call it good

kraft dinner with peas and or hot dogs mixed in = delicious!

I used to live on 2 to 3 Totino's pizzas a day. at a total cost of $2.40 a day !

I like to take a big pan and throw in any leftovers i can find rice pasta chicken whatever any veggies i can find just a little butter a egg some bread crumbs and a very little bit of red wine and fry till it smells good =)

heres a "new school" one for you guys...
Take a package of the craft easy mac and a pack of the ravioli with meat sauce(the new microwave ones that come in boxes of 6 noodle packs and seperate cheese/sauce packs). Microwave the noodles together, then add the ravioli sauce, and then pour in the cheese powder, stir it all up and you have a decent helping of pasta with a real cheezy meat sauce. If you get bored of that, add bacos, lots of shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing (kind of tastes like a baked potatoe).

Another one is compromised steak/cheese sandwiches. If you dont have a toaster oven or time to use a real oven. Take any of the meat and cheeses that you want on your sandwich, put them on a plate a microwave. Then take your bread and put in the pop up style toaster. When everything is ready, assemble your sandwich. You get the toasted taste and avoid the soggy bread, and the time it takes to use the oven.

Just reading this thread makes me want to vomit. As bad as dining hall food is, it is nowhere near as bad as some of the things in this thread are.

I lived off this one for a few months...

Can of generic "Chunky" soup and Egg Noodles.

I would buy 10 lbs of egg noodles, and a case of this generic "Chunky" soup.

Directions:

Boil 3/4 pound of noodles, 5-7 min, Drain.
In the same pot, pour in one can of soup. Heat for 1 minute. Add noodles. Stir.

Eat bfast/lunch/dinner.

Cost per meal, $0.33-$0.50

You can add in anything that was in the fridge, left-over veggies, etc.


;)

-SF

my buddy and me lived off of this last year (freshman year of college):

two slices of bread
3-4 whole hot dogs per two slices of bread
peanut butter


microwave hot dogs till cooked, meanwhile slopping the peanut butter on both bread slices. place hot dogs on peanut buttery bread and mash together. very filling and the peanut butter keeps the hot dogs in place. good stuff :)

SO MUCH CHEESE EVERYBODY.

Did that too.
My own-
butter in a skillet, tortilla with cheese and whatever leftovers, or just cheese. Fold the tortilla over, Let it sizzle, and flip once, after the cheese has melted enough to stick to the other side of the tortilla- quesadillas!

OK, here is THE classic white trash recipe:

Fry three strips of Bacon. Remove from pan and drain and reserve the grease (you'll want it for something later.)

Wipe down the pan, then get half a stick of butter melting over medium heat.

While that melts, take two slices of white bread, slather with peanut butter. Slice a banana and press it into the peanut butter on one slice. Lay the bacon on top of that, then cap with the other peanut-buttered slice of bread.

Once the butter is melted, lay the sandwich down in it, then quickly turn it over to coat.

Fry until the bread is just on the brown side of golden.

Serve with beer.

Consult your cardiologist.

That's the classic Elvis Sandwich. Rather than using a half stick of butter, I use about a tablespoon of the leftover bacon grease to fry mine. I think it does a better job.

Slice of bread with ranch dressing. Always munching on that
