I think I invented something really good for dinner last night...

Well, I know I made something good. The 'thinking' part goes with the 'invented' part, actually.

(Why do I now hear Rocky Balboa saying "I invented that..."? in my head? lol)

Anyway, I got the idea from Stephen King, of all people, out of his book, "Hearts in Atlantis". That book is four stories in one. In the first one, a guy named Ted makes a 'casserole' dinner for himself and his downstairs friend/neighbor, Bobby Garfield. Ted's is hotdogs, baked beans and something to do with horseradish. Mine was a little different.

I used four cans of Hormel chili with beans, an entire pack of hotdogs and most of two bags of grated cheddar cheese.

I dumped the chili into a Pyrex baking dish. Boiled the hotdogs, then cut them up into the chili. Mixed that, topped it with the sharp and mild cheddar. Covered it. Baked it at about 400* for a while, then uncovered it, bumped the heat up to 450* for a little longer, browning the cheese and viola! Dinner.

Musta been good. Eric had three bowls. (Yeah, let's get "Eric"... Nah, he won't eat it. He hates everything... NOT!!!)

So, did I invent that or am I just 200 years behind the rest of the planet as usual?

Tell ya one thing, either way... if ya like chili dawgs (which, as we know "always bark at night")(love you, Lewis!), this is a good, quick, EASY dinner.

Ooohh... onions. Might wanna try adding a few onions.

Fuck.
Now I'm hungry.
I do NOT need that stuff for BREAKFAST.
lmao...

Geez.

(I've not been awake long enough to be hungry yet... stomach, remember?

Just shut up and go back into yer coma, okay?
We'll talk around, what?... 2/3:00pm, okay? (Ya fat got-damned thing...)

Hey, there's an idea. Why don'tcha feed on yer own self for a while? There's enough there to keep ya busy for DAYS, ya rumblin' bee-otch.)

Oh, excuse me... little side-conference there.

Anyway... thank you Steve, for the idea and Lewis for the onion-inspiration.

And, if I didn't "invent" this, y'all let me know, 'kay? I'm actually kinda curious...

2 I prefer to take one can of hormel chili and combine with the results of one box of kraft mac 'n cheese, adding liberal amounts of tabasco. Or I did, prior to current low carb life. Anyway, chili mac rocks. Give it a try!
