Even a blind hog gets an acorn once in awhile! Even when Vanholio's the blind hog. Even when he roots out groceries at Family Dollar! Easy, tasty, cheap!
It's a real simple recipe, makes 2-3 servings:- 2 packets chicken ramen noodles
- 1 2-serving can Campbell's Chunky Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
- 3-4 TBS crunchy peanut butter
- 1 can water
I ripped open two packets chicken ramen. Then I broke up the noodle blocks into the pan of my Max Burton Digital Stove to Go. I sprinkled in just 1 of the chicken seasonin' packets (savin' the other for rice maybe.)
Then I poured in the can a Campbell's Chunky Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. I filled the empty can with water and poured that in after, getting all the stuck bits out.
Finally, I dumped in a couple good globs a crunchy peanut butter. I'd say about 3-4 TBS.
I plugged in the Max Burton Digital Stove to Go and set it to Heat for … shit, I don't know. Maybe 30-45 minutes? I just checked the readout. When it got to about 230 F, I checked the stew. The noodles was swelled and all was simmerin'. 'Course, I stirred it around to make sure the peanut butter got spread out in the stock, makin' a African-style gravy.
Damn! – Rich! Fillin'! Meaty! Spicy! My only complaint was the dogs beggin' for extra shares.
Maybe Vanholio should start a cookin' show on YouTube called "Dollar Store Cookin'." Waddya think?
Hey, Beer Vanholio! He works hard on this blog.

I might give your recipe a try. I have some ramen that's been sitting around since the Bush administration. Bush Sr. I'm summering at a buddy's place and have access to a regular kitchen. No need for any 12V cooking. Of course, I could always do it on my propane stove.
ReplyDeleteA regular kitchen! Love this life, but miss a regular kitchen at times. When I visit people, they always offer me a bed. Don't want your bed. But let me at your shower and your kitchen!!!
