Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe fool you. It’s incredibly delicious.
This recipe uses a microwavable, disposable paper bowl¹ and a disposable plastic spoon¹ as the only cooking / eating utensils. It doesn’t require any perishable ingredients such as fresh vegetables or dairy products (Butter will keep for months in the freezer!), so you only need to stock up on groceries once every few weeks!
1. Add ½ teaspoon of salt to a 20 oz. disposable paper bowl.¹
2. Add ½ teaspoon of powdered basil.
4. Add ½ teaspoon of ground ginger.
3. Add a heaping teaspoon of curry powder.².
5. Rock the bowl from side to side until the salt and the spices are distributed somewhat evenly.
6. Add 2 tablespoons (¼ stick) of butter.
7. Microwave until the butter is completely melted.
8. Rock the bowl from side to side until the salt and the spices are wet with melted butter.
9. Add a 15 oz. can of vegetables such as sweet peas, string beans, diced potatoes, whole kernel corn, or sliced carrots. (Including the liquid.)
10. Add between ⅓ and ½ cup of some combination of instant oatmeal³ and instant mashed potato flakes, depending upon how much liquid was in the can of vegetables.
11. Mix using a disposable plastic spoon.¹
12. Using your fingers, break off chunks from a solid block of American style cheese, such as Kraft™ Velveeta,™ placing them in a pile in the center of the bowl on top of the other ingredients. (optional)
13. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
14. Serve while still warm including the plastic spoon.
¹ At Walmart™, I’ve purchased Dixie™ brand 20 oz. microwavable paper bowls in packages of 30 for US$2.97 and Diamond™ brand plastic spoons in packages of 48 for US$.96.
² If you don’t have any curry powder, then you can make your own: 3 parts ground coriander, 1 part ground turmeric, 1 part ground cumin, 1 part ground fenugreek and 1 part ground red chili beans.
³ Instant grits or instant cream-of-wheat could be substituted for the oatmeal.
