Back in the day, Hormel canned chili on a hot dog with velveeta over the top was the best coney island experience a midwestern bumpkin could have.

When I was live-alone I'd slice a whole package of hot dogs up, fry 'em, toss 'em into a can of chili, then warm a bowl a night with sliced off cheese-like product and dip doritos in it. That's like classed up chili nacho dip.

I'm lovin' this trashy eatin' thing we got goin' on here.

I like a nice campfire dog like we did in scouts. Char up a hot dog on open flames, split it open, load it in a bun, add a little barbecue sauce and some cheddar cheese inside, then lay em on a surface facing the fire so the cheese would melt and the bun would toast.

Let me tell you about one of my number one stunners. Tuna and brie quesadillas.

I was at this fancy wedding one time and a lady walks by with a tray and she's like "want one?" I said sure and grabbed one and I'm like damn what is this, this shit is good. She's like tuna and brie quesadillas. I'm like holy shit, what's in this? She just looks at me blank and goes "ummm... tuna... and brie.

So man I got home and got to work. I got out two tortillas, cut up some brie rind and all, and put a can of albacore tuna and some garlic salt and bam. Tuna and brie quesadillas.

One of my faves before the wife scolded me into oblivion for it was andouille sausage, sliced up thin, fried, toss hash browns in it, then smother it in egg. Cover, sear, flip, top with cheese, let melt, mow down. I'm talking the cheapest, nastiest andouille I could find at the store, and this was back before eggs became a luxury good and were just always in the house anyway.

huge fan of beanie weenies, but I like to make the gentrified version where it's johnsonville sassages, peppers and caramelized onions, and a can of bush's plus a can of mexican seasoned black beans

Can up-scale like that still be called beanie weenies? Still sounds good though.

I like those Johnsonville Italian sausages. They’re pretty tasty. Whenever I’ve tried other brands, they’ve had a weird aftertaste to them…but if you have any recommendations, please let me know. Johnsonville should not have the monopoly over my sausage intake!

Anyway, back to poor people food, I remember eating one of those Maruchen Instant Lunch noodles in university in the US. I bought a couple recently for the nostalgia. Never has a food tasted so plain…then again, they were 80 cents each or something.

The Pot Noodles that the UK has is way better than Maruchen Instant Sadness. At least a pot noodle comes with a sauce sachet!

^^^ I love the regular Johnsonville Brats but have only used their Italian sausage ( sans casing) for making meatballs. I dunno about the monopoly but Johnsonville has a very distinct taste that seems unique to the brand.

My main issue with most sausage is the casing. I love sausage with a grilled/ charred outer but that tends to make em fairly tough. Eckrich makes a skinless/ casing-less sausage but they kinda suck... pretty bland. Tons of hometown brands at my local grocery but sausage is crazy expensive these days and so I tend to be apprehensive trying something new.

Pretty cheap... the lil' smokies, whatever cheese, and jalapeno slices all wrapped up in a crescent roll. That's fine dining for us trashies.

Ultra-cheap... whatever kind of beans and whatever kind of sausage. Add whatever vegetables like carrots, celery, onion, etc and a little chicken or veg broth... throw it all in the slow cooker and you have protein packed meals for days. Been doing that kinda thing a lot since reducing the grocery budget.

I bought my daughter some of those fancy ramen noodle packs at the international store that are like $2 - $3. You have no idea what flavor they are because you cant read it, so you go off the picture. They have like 4 packets in them. She is already learning the bougie life of wanting more flavorful cheap noodles, lol.

Yeah, realistically, there's only so much flavor you can get from a little bouillon dust between the noodles at a like 1:100 ratio against the water.
