Boys I apparently lived a pretty sheltered life. I was raised by God fearing, hard working, law abiding parents. I guess I thought everybody was raised sorta like I was. Well, they weren't. I've been made really aware of that since we started using work release guys at the shop a couple years ago. Some of the stories about their upbringings will make your skin crawl and your blood boil...

So anyway, what does that have to do with food?

These guys get pretty resourceful. They actually cook at work release with no pots and pans. Only a microwave and some paper plates, etc...

So one day last week I heard one of the work release guys talking about a "Garbage bag burrito." Well my curiosity got the best of me, so I asked him what he was talking about. He said they didn't have any bowls in prison (yeah this guy has served some hard time) so they had to make do with what they had. After he told me what it was, and he and another guy bragged on how good it was, he up and offered to fix it for me. I mean what's a guy supposed to do? This guy has nothing, but he wanted to fix me some food, so I told him if he'd fix it, I'd try it... I didn't want to be disrespectful.

So, here's the recipe:

2 packs of uncooked Ramen noodles, crushed up in the bag
2 small bags of Cheetos crushed
2 small bags of Jalapeno Potato Chips crushed
2 packs of Sour Cream and chive crackers crushed
1 can of Chili with beans

You mix the Ramen noodle pieces, the crushed Cheetos, Chips, and the can of chili in a garbage bag, then you use the Sour Cream and chive cracker crumbs to thicken it up.

I ate one small bite and it was actually good. I ate one more big bite and let them have the rest. I'm not joking, it really was good.

Now I wouldn't make this at home and if I made it I wouldn't use a garbage bag but this would actually be a good hunting camp recipe.
