Hi.  My name is Alana and I live in Scotland, but I am from Minnesota.  I just finished writing out this recipe to put it on my own blog, and decided to share it with you too.  It is something I made up Iron Chef-style when I didn't have much food left in the house.  It takes a while, but it's really good. 
 
Chili Cheese Fry Casserole
Cook the ground beef until it is browned and stuff and drain off the grease.  Add the onions and celery and if you want to maybe some broccoli or corn or something.  Add the chili powder (use more in the US - the chili powder is hotter in the UK), cumin, garlic powder and maybe a dash of cinnamon if you're fancy.  Stir it all around and then dump in the beans and barbeque sauce and stir it all up.
Put a fairly thick layer of frozen fries in the bottom of a small baking dish (8x8 or whatever).  Cover that with a layer of processed cheese slices.  Then dump in the meat and bean mixture.  Cover that with more cheese.  Put a later of more french fries over the top of that.  Bake it in the oven at 350 F or 180 C for 60 to 90 minutes.  Whenever it looks hot and done.
So that's my recipe for chili cheese fry casserole.  If you're in America, you could probably also use tater tots instead of fries.  But they don't have tater tots here.

This is really fast and sorta cheap and kinda healthy and probably not too fattening either but the main reason I make it like 3 times a month is because it’s sooooo YUMMY!

Put a little oil (Olive Oyl is best) in a big pan & turn on stove to medium high heat.  Dump in a bunch of cut up veggies, any and all that you like.  If you don’t like ‘em, eat ‘em anyway cause they’re good for you.  Broccolicarrotscauliflowercelerygreenpeppermushroomsonionspeapodspotatoes.  More if you can think of them.  The thinner you slice them, the faster they’ll cook.  Fresh is best.  Frozen will work.  Canned … um … no.  Shake some salt and pepper and garlic powder over them and slap on a lid.  Go watch t.v. for awhile then come back and stir them up.  Add some more S&P & garlic if you want and don’t have to kiss anybody.  Put the lid back on and go get your SECRET INGREDIENT ready.  Slice up some smoked sausage or polish kielbasa (make sure you buy the fully cooked kind not the raw kind) and then when the veggies are crisp tender dump the sausage slices on top and replace the lid so the juices from the sausage dribble down through the veggies and don’t escape out the back door.  Then after a little while when it’s heated through, stir it all up and add some parmesan cheese if you want.  Make some quick coleslaw to go with it (ranch salad dressing poured over ripped up cabbage) and you’ll have an awesome meal that you’ll want to gobble all up but you won’t be able to cause you’ll be TOO FULL.

This recipe doesn’t have a name but if it did, it would be called “Sausage-Soaked Oily Fried Vegetables” which doesn’t sound so good so probably better to call it “Sausage Stuff and Stuff.”

Hi Todd,

My name’s Sara and I live in North Carolina.  Here’s something awesome I made up for lunch today.  I call it:

JoBangles’ Fried Chicken Salad. 

I like it because it uses up leftovers, tastes good, and has lots of fresh, healthy veggies. 

Ingredients:

- Salad greens, torn in pieces and enough to cover a large dinner plate (this is a big no-wimps-allowed salad)

- Chopped tomatoes, green onions, carrots… whatever yummy vegetables you like to munch

- ranch dressing

- shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 Bojangle’s fried chicken breast, leftover from the chicken bucket and put in your fridge overnight so it’s kinda cold.  I used a spicy chicken breast, and it was TASTY!   

- freshly ground black pepper

Assemble salad on plate.  Take a sharp knife and cut the meat away from the chicken breast into strips, avoiding the bones.  Top salad with cold chicken strips.  Dress with swirls of ranch dressing and about half a cup of cheese.  The black pepper gives the bottled ranch dressing more of a kick. 

I was so impressed with myself for making such a big restaurant-style salad – with cold leftovers!  Though this is the first time I’ve made this, there are many possibilities for variations with garlic croutons, thai peanut dressing, nuts, bacon bits, black-bean salsa, etc.  Enjoy… and thanks for a fun website.  Keep up the good work.
