Packerrats: Need You to Lose 30 Pounds

[MadtownPacker]

George and Trav, since you two want to put on some weight try eating this shit. I learned how to make it when I was at a getaway as a youth.

In a bowl:
1. Put about 2 -3 cups of water to boil.
2. Crush up a Marachun or Top Ramen noodle pack, pour in a bowl and add the flavor pack. I use beef or chili flavor.
3. Cut up about 1/4 or 1/3 of a beef or pepperoni stick (I avoid slimjim type, prefer jack links or tillamook brand) into small pieces. Kitchen scissors work but I just bite the pieces with my front teeth and spit em in the bowl.
4. Add about a spoonful of cheezwhiz or a pasteurized cheese slice. Real cheese won't dissolve as easily but you can use it.
5. Cover the top with a layer of corn tortilla chips and crush them down into small pieces. I prefer plain, white corn ones. Doritos can be used but they don't breakdown as much.
6. The water should be boiling so fill the bowl past the level of the chips. Let it stand a minute and stir it all up, turning over the mix so the chips and cheese get all blended. You can also add some hot sauce (Tapatio or a habanero one work well) to give it some kick. Give it another minute and enjoy.

You can also substitute the beef stick with cooked chicken chunks. Or you can sub the beef with a can of tuna and the cheese with a spoon of mayonnaise.

Let me know if you try this shit and what you think. Been a favorite of mine since way back and everyone I have made it for is always pleasantly surprised.

Its settled, you need to have your own cooking TV show. This is ratings gold. "The Dusky Gourmet." "Cooking Chicano". Title needs work, but the main thing is to get you and this act on camera.

Say it's not so. I am a true connosewer of hot sauces, and have tried about every mexican sauce. Walmart sells Tapatio in giant bottles for like $3, so I ordered a couple. Awful stuff, I poured most of it down the drain. A MUCH tastier hot sauce sold ridiculously cheap by walmart is Valentina (extra hot version of course.) Speaking of habanero, I am completely addicted to El Yucateco XXXtra Hot, also sold cheap in small single bottles by Walmart.

I have tried well over a hundred different hot sauces purchased online from hot sauce stores. Some of the fancy ones are good; but honestly a few of the cheapos ordered from Walmart are just as satisfying.

Oh ya, I can't eat real chorizo anymore because of my health. But I've discovered a fake, veggie chorizo that is staple for me:


Ya don't get the same organsmic rush that real chorizo delivers, but that stuff is damn tasty.

Pleasantly surprised ?????

Pleasantly surprised ?????

Haha, yeah that would be a surprise!

Note: The preferred method is for self-serve only. When making for others I use kitchen scissors or dice up on cutting board.

Need to lose way more than I'd like to. Stupid desk job.

That shit is a killer isn't it? Reading about how it shaves at least 10 years off your life. Guess it proves the saying about a body in motion stays in motion.

New slogan: PackerRats - Come by for the banter, stay for the early death!

Sounds like a cool recipe.
