My favorite easy poor man's meal.
>>21775440one of my all time favs. Always satisfying. Sometimes when I want to be fantsy I use ham but usually it's all about the spam
I can't make cheese sauce that doesn't taste like shit
>>21775440>>21775445That ham better have been sourced from deli ends.
>>21775468bone in ham is like 99 cents/lbs around the holidays, I chop up the left overs and freeze if for mac n cheese and pizza topping.
>>217754711/3 of that spiral cut ham in inedible bone and fat. Ham deli ends are only $1.99 per pound.
>>21775445Why did you jizz on it
>>21775468min was SPAM :3>>21775481don't be glib anon, it's a cheesie sauce
>>21775478still cheap as fuck and you make bone broth with it for ham and beans.
>>21775466Do you use pre-shredded or are you grating it yourself?
>>21775495both
>>21775466the only two cents I have on this are:>grate your own cheese, it won't have cellulose powder on it which turns into plasticy grains in the sauce>make a blonde roux with one parts flour to two parts butter (by volume, not weight)>add milk, you aren't making a gravy so keep it a little thin>use a stock cube for flavour - chicken is usually the best bet - it makes aaall the fucking difference>add about as much grated cheese as milk (again, by volume), more if it'll take itwala
>>21775498Shred all of it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents like potato starch or powdered cellulose. Those will make your sauce grainy.What types of cheese are you using?
>>21775440How did you make the cheese?
>>21775514tillamook medium cheddar
>>21775440Ok but where are the canned no salt carrots. And what are you gonna do with that one piece? Just have a random gigantic mouthful of broccoli? Or do you really set the table with a knife for one piece of broccoli?
>>21775535eat it in one bite
>>21775481And its too big. It really disturbs me.
>>21775538stop being a GIANT homo
>>21775484>don't be glibWhere do you get off posting this over and over? You can't even spell or follow any of the rules of grammar. Stop it.
>>21775535>where are the canned no salt carrotskeep it to your containment thread, pal.
>>21775535Is this your little troll identity for the day? With this canned carrots nonsense?FUCK OFF.
>>21775535carrots are cheap as fuck, you are paying more for the can than the carrots to taste like metal.
the metal in canned food costs more than the food because we didn't wipe out the third world that increased their population by several billions since you were a kid, we should seriously unleash a biological weapon on India and Africa.
>>21775543They taste fine. Canned food makes the food taste like metal? Do you really believe your own bullshit?
>>21775542you reckon this is the same anon that did that Matrix post that was about ordering fresh fries or some shit?
jeets are on a rampage lately to make everyone miserable because they are stupid stinky subhumans.
>>21775558No this is my first time in here in awhile as I recall and I've never been a regular. And I'm quickly learning that half this board is just fucking luddites. Its not about the food. Its not about cooking. Its about them being luddites and this is just another way for them to express that. Thats what they really care about. Being a fucking luddite. The scourge of the Earth. Nothing more contemptible than a fucking luddite.
>>21775485Please post receipt. I'm buying two spiral cut hams this week.
>>21775567They're using tech to discuss food and cookingI'm not sure you know what a Luddite isAnyway don't use a roux to make mac and cheeseUse Velveeta or something similar 1:1 with something like an extra sharp cheddar or blend of real cheesesMelt the Velveeta in milk then add the real cheese, some al dente pasta, and adjust with pasta water and milk if necessary
>>21775478>fat>inedibleuh-huh>not using the bone for brothuh-huh
>>21775571Safeway digital deal
>>21775574They're luddites because all of a sudden recycling isn't good for them. Luddites haven't traditionally haven't been nudists for example. Its all about motivation. And they're motivation for every single thing they do is to be a fucking luddite. Using the internet isn't doing something. In this day and age not using the internet etc would be doing something. The internet etc is now the natural default. It takes motivation to not do it. With zero motivation 90% of the world is using the internet etc. So wherever and however these people are using motivation, its to be a fucking luddite.
>>21775580So post a cookalong
>>21775580got a problem with luddites?
>>21775589Nope. They'll fade into irrelevance as the rest of the world replaces them with more efficient technology and techniques.
>>21775593you still haven't figured out indoor plumbing or sanitation dumb jeet.
>>21775593No its a philosophy. Its all relative. It'll never go away. For example luddites aren't traditionally nudists. Although I would assume all nudists are luddites. Simple good. Complex bad. Old good. New bad. Natural good. Processed bad. All just nice and neat and rubber stamped. Thats what passes for thought in their hamster wheel of a brain.
>>21775604>>21775608Bitch.
>>21775445>SPAMWhat about other canned meats? Does it work with luncheon, wolfe, or spiced ham?
>>21775533Get a couple types. You should try mozzarella with the cheddar. It has a higher moisture content so it melts better. Colby Jack too.Just cheddar is a little one-note. Two parts mozz, two parts colby jack, one part cheddar.
>>21775616I can only imagine it will work with canned or potted meats of various ilk, so long as they have some structural integrity
>>21775440Its aight
>>21775703 I'm more focused on the legality of your statement. To call something SPAM is to call another thing a Band-Aid. Spiced ham preserved in a can is a legal danger. A bandage used to aid people is a word avoided in television. We all disparage the twinkie until the twinkie corporation disparages us.
>>21775879a-are you drunk?
>>21775904Provide me wrong if you dare
>>21776113
When I enhance a mac n cheese casserole, I like to add minced fresh onion to my butter when making my bechamel, then I add chunks of butternut squash to the boiling water, near the last minute of cooking. There is something nice from the softer squash. I might fold in some ham when assembling, but it's always topped with buttered fresh breadcrumbs before going into the oven. That browned topping and overly done pasta corners and sides is the texture I want.I don't have leftover ham, usually. It's gobbled up. But, I do buy the BOGO Smithfield "ham steaks" for dicing into recipes.
>>21775440Not bad
>>21775543Cans are lined with plastic. No metal touches the food.
>>21776937some are, some aren't
>>21775533try kraft singles
>>21776995Is this any different than using velveeta? It already has the emulsification agents in it.
>>21775440Looks good, might give it a try.
>>21775440How this poor people food? The cost of that plate is like $10. The only legitamate poverty food is beans and rice.
>>21775445>spam>poorPick one, faggot.
>>21778085get a job
>>21778088nægrœ a 340g (12oz) can of spam costs AU$6 but is on sale for like $4 half the year. I don't understand how it could be almost US$9 at Whalmart, that just makes no sense
