Boil water then add noodles.
Cook until soft, then drain.
Add both packets of cheese powder. NO butter. NO milk.
Stir until flavorful clumps appear, stop then add tuna.

Glop has an extended shelf life of approx. 40 years. In a pinch, It can also be used as drywall sealer or as cold patch for road repair work. Bon appetit.

Greek dish: Saganaki - Fried Cheese
(Note: From the pages of The Frugal Gourmet cookbook)

Kasseri cheese, 1/3 inch thick (1/3 pound)
Egg
1 tablespoon milk
Flour
Olive oil for pan frying
Brandy
Lemon juice

Cut a slice of kasseri cheese about 1/3 inch thick. Mix the egg with the milk. Dip the cheese into the egg mixture. Then dip it into flour. Fry in a bit of oil in a heavy frying pan on medium heat until golden brown. Then turn. ***Warning: Fire hazard approacheth. Prepare ahead of time in case the unintended happens.*** Flame with brandy if you wish, but be careful. Add a squirt of lemon juice when flame dies down.

I usually have a large metal pan lid to quickly put over the top of the frying pan just in case I need to kill the flames in a hurry. I have a fire extinguisher(sp?) nearby for larger problems I use extra long matches which should be available at any grocery store. Flaming the cheese is not necessary, but the flamed brandy does add additional flavor.

I don't have any nutritional info on the dish...but it's CHEESE FRIED WITH BRANDY. I think you can pretty much guess it's nutritional value.

Mmm...saganaki...

I've always wanted to cook spaghetti with a spicy cream sauce (an alfredo sauce or something along those lines), but I've never been able to figure out what spices go with cream sauces. When I use marinara I just toss in a bunch of onion and garlic and jalapenos and ceyenne pepper, but I'm leary about mixing jalapenos or ceyenne with alfredo.


-Beef Sherry

2-3 lbs cubed beef
3-4 cans Golden Mushroom soup
1-2 cans of mushroom pieces
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1-4 cups cooking sherry
Garlic powder
Ceyenne pepper

Mix everything up in a pan and cook it in a conventional oven at 325 F for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally, add more sherry if the sauce is getting too thick. Serve on egg noodles or rice, top with some soy sauce if that's what floats your boat.

-Corned Beef Hash

A buncha peeled and chopped potatoes
A buncha chopped onions
3 cans of chopped corned beef
Garlic (chopped or powdered)
Ceyenne pepper
Black pepper

Keep adding onions/potatoes until your cooking dish is overflowing. Cook at 325 for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the top from drying out.

-Meatballs

5 lbs ground chuck (try to get a fat/lean ratio of about 20/80)
2 lb spicy ground sausage (I usually get Bob Evans)
1 bag of croutons
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 egg (I usually substitute some olive oil, since I never have eggs handy)
Garlic (chopped or powdered)
Ceyenne pepper
Black pepper
Italian seasoning mix

Smash up the croutons into a fine powder. Mix everything up together, form into compressed balls app. 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Use 2-3 pans and cook the meatballs over the stove, occasionally transferring all of the grease you're generating into one pan -- the grease is what makes the meatballs cook up quickly. Typically I'll have three pans going -- one holds the cooked meatballs (where the grease has time to run off of them), one pan has all of the grease, and one pan holds the completely uncooked meatballs. Occasionally I'll rotate pans, moving the cooked and drained meatballs onto a plate or into a ziploc for freezing.

If you got the paste, thin it with chicken broth until you get a thick sauce, if its too spicy for you, you can add some sugar.
Serve over chicken, accompany with mexican rice.
