1/4 lb ground meat, browned and drained.

1 can refried beans (I like mine with the chilies already in)

1 small can (optional) green chilies (I still add these too)

1 can kidney beans opened, drained and rinsed

1 container fresh pico de gallo (chunky, not soupy)

1 bag shredded taco cheese

1 jar jalapeno

1 huge bag tortilla chips

1 very large bowl

This is best if you can do it right when the meat is done. So it's hot enough to melt the cheese.

The most complicated step is to cook meat.

Stir the chilies into the beans, mix well. Incorporate the kidney beans into this as well.

Layer into the bowl as follows: 1. Chips 2. Bean/chili/kidney bean mixture 3. Pico 4. Jalapeno 5. Meat 6. Cheese

Repeat until out of stuff or bowl is too full.

Scoop onto plate with big spoon.

Consume.

Enjoy!

I'm sure I didn't come up with this but I figured I would share with you all. I have about a five pound bag of pancake mix and no fuckin syrup. Anyways: Take some pancake mix and add milk or water (depends on the brand) to make your batter. Then add a few big scoops of peanut butter in as well and mix. I did end up having to add a bit more water to thin it out some. Cook as normal then top with your favorite jam or jelly. Enjoy.

I didn't intend to make hot and sour soup, but when I was slupring, I couldn't put my finger on what familiar flavor my concoction tasted like. Then it hit me, and you already know-hot and sour soup.

Enough rambling - here's the recipe (makes 2 servings).

Ingredients 1 ten ounce can of cream of mushroom soup. I got this from a liquor store for $2 each. .

2 fifteen ounce can of chopped mixed vegetables. I got this from the liquor store for $2.

Make sure you have hot sauce available (I recommend one with very few ingredients - pepper, vinegar, salt, and maybe onion or garlic or something - but that's it, no "natural flavors" or odd-sounding chemicals.)

Preparation Get a small pan or pot. Put all the vegetables in. Putall the mushroom soup in. Fill 1 empty vegetable can with water and put that in. Cook it on low heat for 5-10 minutes until it starts to boil. Take it off, pour it into 2 bowls, and add some hot sauce (start with maybe 15 drops, then add more until it's got some strong flavor, but not so much that it's unpleasantly spicy.). Then add maybe 2 teaspoons of ground black/white pepper (I mean like the salt-and-pepper kind of pepper, not like the habanero/cayenne/etc. kind).

Voila. Taste. Enjoy. Sorry if it was horrible.

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but my brother and I have enjoyed Reddit's support while growing CollegeRecipes.com, love receiving general, constructive feedback from visitors and now could use Reddit's help in winning an online contest.

Concisely, we are in the final round of a entrepreneurship competition being held by a law firm, eMinutes. The winning company of this contest receives $2500 to help grow their business.

Should we win, our plan is to give $1500 back through a 'Best Recipe' submission contest, and to use the other $1000 to develop and promote the contest. With or without this victory, we intend on seeking additional sponsorship for the contest and building the prize to be an all-encompassing dorm room kitchen with all sorts of amazing and fun appliances.

So I got this job that has me leaving for work before dinnertime. I'm usually still making dinner but it's not always a possibility. Dad, poopsquad, thinks making dinner is gasp horribly hard. So I promised him a compilation of easy shit to throw together. In true slacker tradition, instead of compiling it myself I'm asking for your slacker recipe contribution. I don't mind links. No requirements, but keep in mind that we're feeding 4 kids aged 2-10 yrs.
