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?

Marmite on toast with an obscene amount of ketchup.

...so i grew up with what we called five-way in northern kentucky, and no, it's not cincinnati chili...

  • spaghetti
  • browned ground beef (or in my case since 1989, vegetarian substitute)
  • diced onions (fresh / cold)
  • dark red kidney beans (simmered / hot)
  • grated cheddar cheese (annatto-colored)
  • ketchup

...it's all layered up on a large plate in that order, bottom-to-top so the cheese melts nicely, cut into a grid pattern with a fork and knife, and then mixed together: i don't cook it often since moving out on my own thirty-five years ago but it so hits the spot when i do...

So poor mans bolognese. I remember reading when you heat up ketchup it denatures (probably not the right word but opposite of caramelize) and loses its sweetness and becomes pasta sauce.

...it definitely changes when used to top meatloaf...

That makes sense. It isn't really super different from a Cincinnati style five way.

I put ketchup on bread and microwave it

...i think i ate that labelled as 'pizza' on the riverwalk in 1988, but it may have had easy-cheese sprayed on top first: worst i've ever had in whatever case, you win...

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.

...my wife got some kind of weird notion that cottage cheese makes good tacos or enchiladas and she's soooo wrong but i don't have the heart to tell her...

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

Variant on your dish: bake sweet potato, add cottage cheese and eat immediately. Add sweet or savory seasonings to taste. It's not something I'd bring to share, but it's definitely not something I'll hide. As far as quick and dirty meals, it's reasonably healthy, and probably not the worst suggestion for someone who struggles to cook for themselves.

Actual goblin food: canned black olives between two slices of bread, smush down to prevent them from rolling out.

Not super common but commen enough and just for a snack, but I like using tortillas if there's no bread in my apartment. I use them for things like peanut butter and mayonnaise wraps and peanut butter and butter wraps.

I also sometimes use tortillas for leftovers in general, depending on the leftovers from the night before. Last time there was leftover homemade mac and cheese and catfish, I heated them and had that wrapped in a plain tortilla with nothing else for breakfast.

On the area of Mexico that I grew up in, every morning (or every other morning) you would buy fresh corn tortillas for the family. We’d make a taco out of anything.

There is a macaroni salad (with lettuce, peas, carrots, etc.) served at weddings and special events people sometimes pair it with mole sauce and add it to a taco (tortilla) - the main dish is mole with chicken and rice and beans, but people in my region would not think of a Mac and cheese taco as too strange.

My mom also used to make a canned tuna mix (mayo, tomato, onion, lime, salt and pepper) that we would pair with a tortilla and it slaps. I’ve feed this to people from the US and they came back for a second and third taco.

We also would pair a rolled up tortilla with soups (chicken, beef, fish) and used it to push the veggies and meat into a spoon while taking a bite of the part that got souped up.

Corn goes surprisingly well with both sweet/savory (mole) and salty (meats, etc). I’ve never thought of pairing it with PB, but I can see how it might work. If you were referring to flour tortillas, those tend to have a slightly sweet profile, so it seems it could work.

Uuyyyyy me acordé de los taquitos de manteca con sal el fila de las tortillas. Que delicia!

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

...you're a bad person and you should feel bad, but i used to like tuna casserole when i was growing up which i think is like blue-box macaroni and cheese, canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and crushed ruffles baked together...

...maybe?..i don't think i've eaten it since the seventies since my stepfather hated it, so i might not quite be remembering it correctly...

[-] tehmics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'll definitely throw a can of tuna on a box of Mac to get some protein in there. It somehow feels slightly classier than the cut up hotdogs of my childhood

[-] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Same here, a few more tips for tortillas.

Stack two tortillas and use for pizza crust.

Brown, brown beef, chopped up small and put in freezer. To use as a topping for burritos.

Layer the tortilla with refied beans. Add the frozen ground beef and cheese. Throw in a toaster oven for about five minutes and Add sauce. For a perfect burrito Or pizza.

Super easy and quick meal or snack.

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.

...that's essentially migas: people pay restaurant money for that...

[-] Truffle@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah now they do and I feel kinda vindicated TBH. Back when I was a kid this dish was compared to dog food by some of my classmates and teachers, I kid you not. Maybe I still carry some of that trauma and I wouldn't serve it to guests but I will gladly cook it for me and my kid, who also loves it.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 day ago

...i mean, people pay restaurant money for ramen these days, too: every peasant food gets its day in due time...

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I love migas!

If you soaked the chips in salsa first that sounds like chilaquiles.

Sandines and kraut with mustard and caraway. I only eat it when I'm alone and have time to brush my teeth afterward. So good though and I'm full for hours.

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.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

It sounds like a barebones beef stroganoff

I made Mac and cheese with Velveeta and ground turkey.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Mac and cheese with whatever random protein is like... A norm. Bacon? Hot dog? Chicken?

Yes.

My so called broccoli-potato-gratin with pork neck includes quite an amount of cream, salt, bouillion cubes and cheese. My wife doesn't know and it will stay that way.

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.
