Wow, so that's how they make that. Now to never look up the recipe for Hawaiian Mac salad.

My favorite meal as a kid was wild rice casserole:
1 lb ground beef
I large onion
Some wild rice
Can of cream of mushroom
Salt and pepper
Tater tots

Cook the first three ingredients, combine in oven safe dish, add the cream of mushroom, put frozen tots on top. Stick in 350 degree oven until tots are done.

it's actually not that bad. I mean yeah it's mayonnaise and pasta but nothing crazy.

the trick to getting the tangy flavor is soaking the cooked noodles in apple cider vinegar.

cheesy potatoes/funeral potatoes and poppy seed chicken are the only canned cream soup things I've ever made.

poppy seed chicken is a southern casserole with chicken in a creamy sauce with crushed ritz and poppy seeds on top that you eat over your starch of choice

my grandma used to make cheesy potatoes with cornflakes on top :shrug:

It’s really interesting how julia childs popularization of mid century French cuisine—where things like aspics and minces were considered delicacies due to the level of labor involved in their production—in America led to some of the biggest horrors of 50s cooking like “hard boiled eggs in lime jello”

my mom's family had a dish called crows nest that was basically shepherd's pie but was layers of cooked ground beef, canned creamed corn, instant mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese baked until the cheese was browned... still get nostalgic for it

The weekend after thanksgiving I make a broccoli cheese casserole with frozen broccoli florets, cubed velveeta, cream of mushroom soup and Durkee onions. It’s kind of a nostalgia thing, but I think the first time I had it there were ritz crackers involved.

goes great with leftovers.

Garbage cream of mushroom soup recipe

Sunday Chicken

Line a baking dish with dried beef rounds. Wrap boneless, skinless chicken breasts with bacon. Place wrapped chicken in beef lined dish, pour in cream of mushroom soup until chicken is almost submerged. Bake until chicken is 165°F internally. Optionally top with cheese.

So salty, so 50s kitchen horror, so good.

this is just french candadian pate chinois or chinese pie if you're from the merrimack valley in MA

my family recipe is almost identical except we go 1/2 creamed corn and 1/2 frozen corn so it doesn't get as wet, and we make the mashed from scratch

I can’t eat “cream of” a good scratch mushroom gravy is a good sub for those comfort foods that simultaneously makes them less 50’s food horror.

canned green beans / canned cream of mushroom / fried onions was a thanksgiving / Christmas thing in my family.

fresh beans / mushroom gravy / fried onions is a lot better and healthier.

We never had tuna in anything but tunafish sandwich form growing up. I remember having something like Tuna Helper at a friend's house, though. I met my wife when she was in grad school on a stipend that left $40/month after rent. Her go-to was store-brand Mac&cheese with a can of tuna dumped in it at the end. She rarely had milk, so the M&C was often made with butter and water. We must have stopped making that the second we could afford not to.

Not really a "cooking" skill but does anyone else in here gently caress with some maldon's sea salt

I remember the first time I bought it a few years ago being like "$8 for such a small amount of salt what am I a Rockefeller" but I use it loving daily now and would never go back

I use it as a topping finish for focaccia, but that's it. What else do you use it for?

Goddamned near everything, really - but in the same way. Top some pasta with it, put it on a seared whatever, roasted vegetables, eggs
Granted you do have to modulate the amount of salt you cook with if you're finishing with more salt but I always find I under-utilize kosher salt by itself anyhow - it's hard to get a sense when you're shaking
I keep the maldon's in a salt cellar and it's a much easier to get a sense of the salt/dish ratio that way I think when you're taking a literal pinch

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

I'm making a hubristic amount of pickles to give out for Christmas gifts for both myself and the GF. was very disappointed to discover that Ball discontinued the pint and a half jars that have worked out so well for pickle spears in the past, but Uline makes their own version that hopefully will work just as well.

I'm using Babish's pickle recipe he originally used for an adventure time episode. I'm just glad there's a GFS near me that sells giant sacks of peeled garlic so I don't have to peel like 18 heads. I've done this in the past but never to this scale but it's cool when people are really impressed by a Christmas gift that cost like $5 including the price of the jar.

how do you get such consistent and total coverage with the toppings? mine is always patchy and not so far down the sides, from just sort of dipping onto a plate of seeds etc.

I boiled a costco chicken carcass for, like, 4 fours, picked out the bones, sweated some onions, threw in some carrots, noodles, italian herb mix, cardamon, black pepper and way too much salt. came out o.k., just too salty but that was my own fault

Boiling chicken meat does not do much for me. Best to stick with bones. I do think it's interesting to use minced chicken breast for clarification of stock though. Seems like really excellent chicken stock requires a crazy bone to water ratio, best to just freeze your carcasses until you can pack a pot.

my wife got a packet of Pumpkin Spice Latte VIA coffee from work as a gift and I am going to use it to make Pumpkin Spice Rice.

the question is do I use sushi rice, basmati, or long grain brown for this?
