Weekend's Over Wednesdays: A Kitchen Experiment.

Instead of using hamburger, I used three cans of salmon.

 I spent all day Monday sleeping.  Then I spent all Tuesday with my girlfriend.  One of the things I cooked was a Great Value Cheeseburger Skillet Meal.  I had to go buy some milk and one pound of ground beef.  I decided today that I wanted some more, but I didn't have any more burger to cook with.  I did have cans of salmon though, so I decided to perform a bit of an experiment.

Since the recipe calls for one pound of ground beef, that means I need as close to 16 ounces as possible.  Each can of salmon is five ounces, so three would be close enough.  I simply skipped the browning burger portion of the cooking and went straight to mixing everything in.

Yum!  :)

After bringing it to a boil and simmering, I let it set while stirring on occasion as the directions called for.  I went about my business while waiting 14 minutes for the thing to cook.  After that, I let it sit for a little while so the sauce could thicken and the mixture could cool down.

The taste was decent.  It's obvious that the salmon had a significant influence on the flavor of this particular cuisine.  I still think it was a worthy experiment anyway.  Over the next several days, I plan on showing everyone how to make meals on the cheap as well.  Tomorrow's topic of choice will involve ramen noodles.  Yes, there is a cheaper, better alternative to stove top cooking that doesn't involve a microwave.

Seeing as how it's the end of the weekend for me, I get to go back to work tonight.  It will be interesting to see how I manage to pull off doing laundry seeing as how I'm getting low on funds at the moment.  If you have friends with washers and dryers, negotiate with them.  It will be much cheaper than using a laundry mat.  ;)

That's all I have for today.  I know I skipped a couple of days of blogging, but I was too tired, busy, etc.  I do try to make up for it though with multiple postings in one day.  Feel free to share this recipe modification and other posts everywhere you can.  Have a blog you want me to read?  Let me know in the comments below, and I'll give it a look see.  Talk to you later, world.  :)
