Your Best and Worst Concoctions

It's very fattening but it's worth the cardiac shock.

I go in for a similar version of this quite often. I use the monterey jack, but rather than Velveeta as a base, I prefer fiesta nacho cheese soup (Campbell's makes some), as its about as smooth as Velveeta but has a nice spicy kick. There's also a southwest cheese that's interesting in combination, as it gives it all a smokey flavor. Tend to mix and match between hot dogs, sausages, and pepperoni depending on what's in the kitchen at the time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

With all the talk of not cooking complicated stuff, seems like we almost need a quick and easy concoctions.

Anyhow, something I've made recently which fell under best was a variation of hashbrowns, which are partially based on those spiced potatoes you're supposed to bake in your oven. Basically, I start with onions, green peppers, a chicken breast, and three potatoes. Sometimes mushrooms as well. Saute the onions, mushrooms, peppers and chicken, add in a bit of paprika, garlic, red pepper, and maybe lemon / basil. Shred all the potatoes. Then mix thyme, more garlic, pepper, and paprika in with the potatoes and add them to the sauted mix. Swirl it all up and flatten into a pancake shape and then allow to cook till nice and brown. Flip like a pancake if you have the skills, and then do the other side the same way. Super tasty and easy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
