I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

    Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I’m feeling fancy/not lazy I’ll add some chopped shallots or scallions.

    I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you’d find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.

      A strong acidic zing is missing from a lot of dishes.

      Generally I keep white vinegar around specifically for its chemical properties rather than its flavor, though.

    my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.

    Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don’t make it that often unless it’s just me for a few days.

      That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it’s a protein in sauce served over rice, what’s even weird about it?

        I think it’s a combination of things, like I’m making ground beef so your mind goes taco but you’re getting a soupy bowl. Also, cream of mushroom soup is just one of those weird soups that doesn’t look or sound good on most people’s radar (see it mostly by itself or with a chicken recipe) but always kicks off a casserole or dish the right way. Then I bust out the rice and the confusion just sets in till they realize I’m already done lol.

      I used to eat this all the time, but with instant mash. It looks like vomit, but it is delicious. ❤️

    When I’m home alone, I’ll sometimes revert to my “first apartment” mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautéed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.

    Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn’t serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.

    Cold baked beans straight from the tin, eaten with a spoon. I’m grinning thinking of my dinner guests’ faces as they contemplate their tins.

    Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.

    I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.

    But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.

    Guacamole with cottage cheese. The Polish side of my family loves it, but I wouldn’t dare add it to my guac when making it for the Mexican half of my family.

    Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper… Not sure how terrible it is, but I don’t generally serve it to others because it’s very messy.

      I’ve never even thought to put lettuce in a hot dog…

      If someone made like a “cheeseburger” hot dog with lettuce, tomato, pickle, maybe even onion, with ketchup and possibly some mayo? I’d throw down. ETA: can’t believe I forgot cheese

        I’m Canadian so I could be wrong but I think that’s a thing in Chicago, or at least similar to that. Or some other big American city.

      Okay so I know this is a couple weeks old, but I can’t stop thinking about this and you got me cooking.

      Get some of those giant jumbo dogs by Nathan’s, slice them in half and grill them up. Get some beef (I like around 70/30 myself), cook it up with some burger seasonings, maybe a hint of cheese or cheese sauce? Put the half dog in the bun first, flat side up so it creates a nice platform for the rest of the food and opens the bun. Then you put a nice portion of burger meat on top, then your toppings (lettuce, tomato, more cheese, etc.) and your sauces (ketchup, mayo, maybe some mustard).

      Boom. Burger-Dog.

    Cut up tortillas, fry them with some salt, when crispy crack two or three eggs in there and scramble. I grew up eating it and while it is delicious I don’t think I would serve it to guests.

    Mustard bread. I’m dead serious.

    Edit to clarify: just a slice of bread with a heap of mustard rushedly spread on it. I either go for honey mustard if I’m looking for a bit of pep, or whole grain Dijon for savouring.
