Do you love ramen noodles? Lasagna? Mac and cheese? Pasta is certainly cheap. Stores a long time and shelf stable.
How do you quickly and efficiently get your fix of carbs and high sodium?
I found an easy and very unhealthy way of making generic boxed macaroni and cheese into a very tasty dish that should stick to your ribs so to speak.
You know the kind. It's the cheapest mac and cheese box the store carries. Usually 33 to 60 cents depending on sales. Powdered cheese and cheap thin straight macaroni noodles.
The box says you need something like 6 or 8 quarts of water, milk, and butter or margarine.
I dont want to use so much fuel to boil all that water that will be wasted so I use a smaller pot and after the water gets gluey I drain most of it and put in more fresh water and continue boiling until done or gluey again. I might use just as much water this way but I find it faster and more efficient than trying to keep 2 gallons of water at 212°F.
Ingredients
1 box generic mac and cheese
Soy sauce
Sriracha hot sauce
Olive oil
Butter
Milk
A pinch of shredded cheese
I take the small pot of water and add soy sauce to it until its colored a little, a dash of sriracha, and a splash of oil then boil. Add the macaroni and boil until it wont absorb any more water then drain and add more fresh water. When done drain and set aside in a rubbermaid type plastic container with a lid. In the same pot add more butter than the box calls for and slowly melt taking care not to "break" the butter remove from heat if necessary and swirl to prevent boiling. Once melted stir in milk. I use less milk than the box calls for as I use more butter. Heat the mixture slowly until the milk scales and remove from heat. Continue heating the mixture until piping hot but dont allow to boil. Only scalding the milk. Once hot add the powdered cheese and stir briskly both on and off the heat until all the cheese has dissolved. Then slowly heat the cheese sauce until it begins to bubble but remove from heat and stir before the bubbles break. Dont let it burn. When piping hot take a pinch of shredded cheese and stir into the mixture until smooth. Reheating if necessary. Add the cheese sauce to the noodles and enjoy.
Cheap, quickish, delicious, and full of tasty cholesterol. Enjoy
