Train Smash, for odiedragon and lonita

Train Smash

Get

1 casserole dish
Some tomatoes
Some onions
Some cheese
Some herbs and stuff like that

Do

Turn the stereo up loud.

Slice up everything. Get it all together in the dish in layers. Start with a layer of onions, then tomatoes, then cheese. Do this until you fill the dish or it's at least an inch thick. You can sprinkle herbs in as you do this, if you want. Put extra cheese on top and bake it in a moderately hot oven until the cheese starts to go brown.

This dish is called "Train Smash" because it looks like one when you put it on plates.

Do you think it'd be good with some chicken under that top layer of some cheese? It sounds good but I'd rather it be a meal than a side dish.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I've also done a layer of mashed potato on top of the last layer of cheese.

Ooh, even vegetarian me can make it! *happy dance*

Needs bacon ;)

*makes note to add tofu-bacon* :P

IAWTC.

[lonita.livejournal.com]

You're going to have to define that one for m, dear. :>

[chezmax]

IAWTC = I Agree With This Comment. :)

[lonita.livejournal.com]

Well, then, IAWTC also, since everything is better with bacon.

[odiedragon.livejournal.com]

Mmm... that sounds good too!

[dancinglights.livejournal.com]

"Turn the stereo up loud." should be the first step in any recipe.

Needs Velveeta. :-D

[starcat-jewel.livejournal.com]

Sort of like a pizza without the crust. :-)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

It's a vegetarian casserole.

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

You could use meat in it, yeah. It represents the charred corpsesXD.
Maybe I should try it with some pre-cooked green tomatoes.

I can't remember if I ever posted my recipe for Steak & Suspicious Organs Pie.

They used to serve something similar in the university cafeteria that was called "train Wreck". Unsuprisingly, new students tended not to eat it with that sort of name...

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Train wreck... train smash. It looks the same on the plates.

More recipes need audio components.

Tuna Slop

Noodles
Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (canned)
Tuna (canned)

Boil noodles until mushy. Dump in soup and tuna. Stir. Generally served with chewy coffee outside a tent while camping.


Camp Barbecue Chicken

Start charcoal in square metal thing with legs which pretends to be a cheap charcoal grill but needs to be at least three inches deeper.

Start the charcoal again.

Start the charcoal again.

Squirt on charcoal starter fluid. Put out flaming eyebrows and hope like hell you were wearing cotton clothes and not polyester (polyester melts and laminates to the skin)

Wait until charcoal goes from too hot to too cold.

Put the grill on top.

Dip chicken legs in tomato catsup and throw them on the grill.

Watch for a LONG time.

Decide the danged thing isn't going to cook for a while. Go into the trailer to open the baked beans. This will signal the fat in the chicken skin to melt, drip into the charcoal, and create a fountain of flame reminiscent of the time the tanker Jupiter blew up at the docks in Bay City.

Approximately 20 nanoseconds of this will give the chicken the classic raw inside, charred outside texture of true camp cooking.

Eat it anyway, because there's nothing else. Medevac and stomach pump optional.



One Pot Breakfast

Dump water, instant oatmeal, rasins, peanuts, powdered milk, brown sugar lumps, and M&Ms into one pot and boil the hell out of it, because you forgot the real stove and it's six states away now and you only have the one-burner abomination you bought to carry along on the hike down the Grand Canyon you never did go on because of that infected cut on your foot. Discover that the mixture is really not bad at all, and certainly beats the chicken.

Gosh, and all I have is a recipe for stuffed camel. :(
