Cheap Eats: The Pantry Clean-up version

[saitaina]

It's that time of the month, last week, various scraps of items that equal nothing and no cash to go shopping. What the hell are you going to eat?

This is where this recipie comes in. Three ingredients (mostly leftovers) and you have a pretty damn decent meal. Take a can of baked beans (for today I used Bush's Homestyle), a quarter/half brick of cheese (left over Mozzerella) and some tortillas (three left over from whatever the hell I had them from).

Heat up the beans on the stove and cube the cheese (smaller cubes preferable, but I ended up with half an inch big chunks). toss in the cheese and lower the temp to melt the cheese w/out burning it. Make sure to add enough cheese to thicken the sauce. Warm up your tortillas and spread the bean/cheese mixture across them, roll into a desired shape and dig in. The baked beans give it a nice BBQ kick

Edit: Beware of flying cheese! I just realized I have cheese and beans on the underside of my chin from dripping.

If you have bread and a toaster oven, you can make baked bean sandwiches.

1. Heat baked beans. Don't worry too much about cooking all the way through, the beans just can't be fridge-cold or you'll get a bite of yucky coldness in the center.
2. Cut thick slices of bread, or use buns. You can probably double up on sliced bread if that's what you've got, so that the bean sauce doesn't soak through and leave you with goo instead of a sandwich.
3. Scoop baked beans onto bread. Cover bread throughly, you want a nice thick layer here.
4. Top with thick slices of cheddar cheese.
5. Top brown in toaster oven until the cheese is melty bubbly goo of delishousness.
6. Eat. With fork if you're the fastidious type or don't want to wait a minute for it to cool.
