How to make your own McRib out of Spam – No…really…a McSpam
Start with that delicious looking slab of pink “I don’t want to know what’s in this can”….
And end with this:
Mmmm. Well, it might be anyway. It does look kinda good. And with enough barbecue sauce and goodies on top, it probably does taste pretty good.
A full picture tutorial is over at these BBQ forums.
If you’re making this for an anti-Spam family, I’d suggest going the same route he did:
The scariest part of this whole adventure is that the McSpam was surprisingly tasty. And the kids ate it without complaining. Maybe that’s because I didn’t tell them what it was before they ate it…
I know I always get my best results if I don’t tell them what the quirky ingredients inside are until after they’ve already given their seal of approval, hehe.
And honestly, I think that sandwich looks a whole lot better than these pictures of a real McRib. (Don’t hate me, but I never saw the appeal in the first place…)
Big Mac salad – Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, sesame seeds!
Okay, so it’s not the absolute most appetizing-looking dish on its own, but it *does* look like someone tore up a few McDonald’s big macs and threw them in a bowl, right? Which, for all intents and purposes, is pretty ideal for something called a Big Mac Salad.
I’m sharing the recipe directly here because I hate when things like this go missing. I highly recommend clicking through the recipe link and scanning the comments and pictures, though. There’s some great info about serving this hot versus cold, how even though it’s a “salad,” it’s not exactly healthy, etc.
- 8 slices white bread
- 1 -1 1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seed
Directions:
Toast all eight pieces of bread until just lightly golden-brown. Let cool and cut into cubes; set aside.
Brown and drain the extra lean ground beef. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled ground beef, toasted bread cubes,finely chopped onions, shredded lettuce and cheese; toss well. Place in a large salad/serving bowl.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad. You can either leave it drizzled or toss everything to evenly coat salad.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Doesn’t that ingredient list just scream “I’m a Big Mac”? I thought so.
Grilled cheese sandwich croutons & tomato soup
I give up. I’ve been trying to trace this back to at least a pseudo-source, but it seems everyone got it from somewhere else and several have their own ideas of how they “came up with it.”
So here are some sources. And their sources’ sources. Click around. Some have some really awesome-looking tomato soup recipes or unique twists on the grilled cheese sandwich part.
I don’t care if you just grab a can of cheap condensed tomato soup and make your sandwich with Wonderbread knock-off and those cheese slices that come wrapped in cellophane. Now matter how you spin it, this is an awesome idea to switch up a classic. Yum.
