Prison Spread Recipe
Prison Spread Recipe, a unique dish born out of necessity within the confines of a prison cell, is more than just a meal; it's a cultural phenomenon.
Equipment
- Large microwave-safe bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Microwave
- Can opener
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 package of instant ramen noodles
- 1 can of tuna drained
- 1 stick of beef jerky finely chopped
- 1 bag of corn chips
- 1/2 cup of pre-sliced cheese or cheese spread
- Hot water
- Optional: sliced jalapeños pickles, or hot sauce for added flavor
Instructions
- Begin the Base: Break the ramen noodles while still in the package and place them in the bowl.
- Add Water: Boil enough water to cover the noodles and pour it over them, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Let sit until the noodles are soft.
- Incorporate Proteins: Add the drained tuna and chopped beef jerky to the softened noodles.
- Mix in Crunch and Cream: Crumble the corn chips into the noodle mixture, then add the cheese. If using cheese slices, tear them into smaller pieces for easier melting.
- Season and Spice: If desired, add jalapeños, pickles, or a squirt of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Heat and Combine: Microwave the mixture for about two minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
- Stir and Serve: Mix everything thoroughly to distribute the melted cheese and seasonings evenly. Serve hot.
Notes
-
- Adjust Fluids: Be cautious with the amount of water added; too much will make it soupy.
-
- Flavor to Taste: Personalize with spices available from the commissary like crushed red pepper or taco seasoning packets.
-
- Texture Variations: For a crunchier texture, add more chips or consider using pretzels.
-
- Protein Boost: Swap tuna for canned chicken or summer sausage for different protein options.
-
- Handling Heat: When heating, cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate to avoid splatters and ensure even cooking.
