Anyone ever have a "whatever I can find at home tonight" dinner?

Something in the freezer, fridge, or pantry. Piece it together. Have had a can of tuna or leftover taco meat with mac-n-cheese or Hamburger Helper many times.

Wife is working tonight so I invoked the question in the OP......what can I find?
Found some Oscar Meyer Angus dogs in the freezer. A can of hot dog chili (and a Ramen as a side) in the cupboard. Two leftover brioche buns from last weekend. Viola! Supper!



Gotta ask, do most of you eat leftovers? I was raised that you don't waste food (the old "starving kid in Africa" spiel Mom would give). Wife and I freeze leftover meat or veggies of any decent amount, comes in handy later on. Had a small Omaha Steaks prime rib roast the other night, it was 3.5lbs. We ate what we could without being gluttons, so that left a good deal to freeze. Was thinking of maybe taking some out this weekend and cutting it relatively thin (while it is half-frozen so it is easier to cut) to make prime rib Phillies or Italian beef sandwiches.

I always have, at the bare minimum, a few cans of beans and some type of link sausage in the fridge or freezer. Add some spices and some cheese and it qualifies as comfort food.

I get three meals out of a pizza. In fact when I do get take out or sit down food, I order it with leftovers in mind.

Oh Yeah.....similar to Pizza, I get a chicken Shwarma plate with Rice from a local establishment and it can nearly feed me for a week. I can get several lunches and dinners out of it.

The last hurrah is when I’m down to one frozen burger. I fry it up and add to a large can of baked beans. Much better if you have a couple of bacon strips to add.

Some chips and microwave velveeta cheese with some salsa.

I don’t waste food, so constantly, yes.

Hashbrowns- real hasbrowns, are a skill that I’ve never really mastered, not matter how long I go to WaffleHouse and watch…

If you have time…..
Shred, rinse, lay potatoes out on dish towel and cover with a second dish towel to dry them.
Heat your butter up a good bit and run it through a coffee filter to clarify it.

Medium heat in a cast iron skillet put a shot of butter, then spuds. Let it sit there a few minutes and then butter the top and flip.

Want them crispier, make them thinner, want them little more meaty, make them thicker.

I don’t bust mine up in the pan, but if you want to be a rebel, go for it.

I can remember eating donuts covered in ketchup once, being young and broke is so much fun. Actually the young part was pretty good, the broke not so much.
