Broke College Kid Food

[hawley788]

*Originally Is there anything better than? Renamed to open the topic lol*

So, as I sit here and type while eating, I am enlightened by the delighting recipe that is quick, easy and delicious. I'm talkin about good ol' Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese with a pound of hamburger spiced and thrown in to the mix.

Is there anything better than delightful KD mixed with burger? Discuss, and add your favourite quickie meals for times of gaming and/or internet surfing... or if you're just too damn broke to make anything else.

I always preferred hot dogs in mine. Raman is my personal quick favorite, I add some dried mushroom and green onions for extra flavor.

Well, since I happen to hate mac and cheese, yes, for me there are lots of things more delightful than mac and cheese with burger.

Personally speaking, I love fried rice. I really enjoy making it myself, but in order to do that you have to have made steamed rice at least one day ago, though if you have steamed rice that's even older than that, it's even better. So, if I get the hankering for fried rice, and hadn't made any steamed rice recently, I have to go to a chinese take-out place. Which isn't bad, cause they usually make pretty damn good fried rice too... but if you've got the steamed rice, it's not a difficult recipe to make at all. Throw the rice in a sauce pan or wok with some oil, fry it up a bit, add chopped onions, chopped carrots, and peas, as well as some soy sauce and salt, and you've got a delicious meal.

always a classic... I just find that hamburger tastes better, but does make it a little greasy... I like adding chicken to Mr Noodles, draining 3/4 of the water, and not using the whole packet of flavouring salt. I've never made raman from scratch, so I wouldn't really know anything else.

Cheese burgers or pizza pops is another good one... but I like to eat healthy as much as I can.

I like a little fettuccine alfredo with chicken. Cook some pasta, saute the chicken in garlic and olive oil, and toss with tasty, tasty sauce.

I dunno but right now I'm eating crackers with peanut butter and gatorade to drink.

Nachos. Oh Lawd nachos with melted cheese and Doritoes salsa. I haven't made it in ages but I love it. Or Chicago Town mini-meat pizzas.

Fried Rice and Fettuccine Alfredo... more awesome ideas... Kraft Dinner also makes a cheap rip off Alfredo pasta here in Canada... it's not very appetizing.

Another favourite of mine that takes a little longer, but definitely worth the effort is making pizzas with pita bread. Take a full Pita... add pizza sauce, meat and veggies and load with pizza cheese... turf it in the oven. It's awesome, but not a fan-favourite if you're playing with friends online and ask to take a food break lol

This thread should be retitled as broke college kid food.

That being said I fucking annihilate strawberry Eggos.

Other than Ramen?

I loooooove cooking up Spam. Grilling it for about five minutes makes it all crispy and amazing.
Then putting it on some toast with mayo and mustard? Love it.

Sushi. Homemade tuna sushi with mayo and avocado, and just a little soy sauce.

Mmmmm... *is hungry for sushi naow*

My wife used to make that when she was a kid... I've always found it an utterly appalling form of quick cuisine.. but hell, to each his/her own

If you don't bother thinking what it's made of, and don't care what it does to your body, it's quite amazing XD

I used to live off those and super noodles.

I love this little buggers.

I make my money go a good ways by buying a few packs of torillas, ground chuck, various beans, spices, onions, peppers, etc., and fixing loads of burrito mix that I can keep refrigerated. Gives me about four days worth of food if I'm eating more than usual. I amuse myself by trying to make each batch hotter than the last. If I'm not crying as I'm eating, it isn't hot enough.

Mmm...I say, I've stolen that recipe. Sounds delicious, I don't game and snack much but I'm always eating when I'm online and this sounds perfect. Thank you. :3
Oh and liking the avatar! :3

 

[hawley788]

Lol, Spam always squeals back on the grill... as for a turkey sandwich, that's actually an awesome quick meal.. It's way better if it's the day after thanksgiving though... not a big fan of smoked and sliced.

Mmmm... Chicken Super Noodles. An absolute winner for someone on a budget.
