Was it Cheryl who wanted to know what to do with cooked pork butt?

I was reading an article about something completely unrelated and ran
across this link. Recipe from Chef Boyardee. That should say enough
right there.

http://www.chefboyardee.com/recipes-...andwiches-6031

Memphis-Style Mac and Cheese Sandwiches

1-1/4 cups rotisserie chicken or cooked pork, shredded
1/4 cup prepared barbecue sauce
8 slices country-style white or sourdough bread
1 can (15 oz each) Chef Boyardee® Mac & Cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

Combine chicken and barbecue sauce in small bowl. Layer chicken
evenly over 4 bread slices. Cover with an even layer of Mac & Cheese.
Top with remaining bread slices; press together gently. Lightly spread
outside of both sides of sandwiches with butter.

Preheat nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook
sandwiches about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Cut
sandwiches in half and serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping,
if desired.

Sounds positively atrocious if you ask me!

I've heard of those and it wasn't chef boy-ar-dee, maybe it was diner
food. You're right, it sounds disgusting!

I did see an interesting (but poorly written) recipe today that
started with boxed potatoes. I might even try it sometime. I don't
own a crockpot, so I'll either do it on the stovetop or in the oven.

Sausage and Cabbage Dinner (complete meal in the crockpot)

1 package smoked sausage
1 box scalloped potatoes
1 small head of cabbage
1 onion chopped
3 cups water
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper

In bottom of crock pot place cabbage wedges, onion, water, salt and
pepper empty all contents of potatoes, add milk.

Cut sausage into 3" pieces place on top, cover cook on low 4 hours.
Check tenderness of cabbage and potatoes (if needed cook 1 hour on
high).

Here is the image that goes with it. At this point, I don't see how
the above recipe could make the 3 items look like they are shown. But
like I said, I don't use a crockpot - so maybe it's the Impossible Pie
concept. http://oi43.tinypic.com/2ntba5f.jpg

That sounds like something my dh would like that's easy. Thanks for posting
that.

I vaguely remember Chef Boyardee selling canned mac & cheese. I sure as
hell never bought it, much less put it on a sandwich.

Uh, no. Bisquick Impossible Pie (beef or chicken) looks and tastes a
heck of a lot better than that image. Use imagination. I add some red
wine to the beef pie.

I was joking when I said Impossible Pie! Did you just one up me with
a joke? I do agree that red with and beef are a match made in heaven.

I used to make an Impossible Pie. I think it was cheeseburger. My grandma
sent me the recipe. It was okay. I guess the appeal to her was that it
formed a crust that you didn't put there. But then she was also amused by
Jiffy Pop.

Bisquick has a bunch of recipes that they call "impossible pies." They make
their own crust.

The ones I've tried really are better than you'd think. I don't have a
problem with Bisquick like some do, though. I made the Impossible
French Apple Pie and I think the coconut cream, too. I really liked
them for a treat. I'm serious about looking for savory ones now.

Nope, I wasn't making a joke. Impossible Pie is a Bisquick thing.

The original recipe didn't have the "disappearing" crust some folks are
talking about. It called for using Bisquick to make a pie crust. And
it was baked in a pie pan. You added cooked seasoned ground beef (I
recall Worcestershire sauce), eggs, cottage cheese. Then you topped it
with shredded chedder and baked it. To the best of my recollection. My
mom made this in the 1970's.

I didn't make Impossible Pie very many times. The only one I remember
making was Impossible Coconut Pie. You mixed up all the ingredients,
put a liquidy filling into a pie pan and baked it. At the end -
everything had separated into distinct layers and it was very pielike.
I was more impressed with the "impossible" part than I was with the
pie itself and no, I didn't hop on the impossible pie bandwagon.

Getting back to mac & cheese. I'm not much of a video watcher, but I
went to Food Network this morning and watched a couple of Tyler
Florence videos. One was for mac & cheese, another for espresso panna
cotta and a third for Chinese dumpling filling - which I'll never make
because hubby doesn't eat shellfish anymore. I used to make a similar
filling w/o the water chestnuts or chinese celery and I watched it
just to reminisce about how delicious it is. I encourage anyone who
is interested to give it a try (potstickers are my downfall, I love
those things). The videos stream one after the other, or you can
choose one you're particularly interested in viewing. Here's the
link. http://www.foodnetwork.com/tylers-ultimate/index.html

To me, too. Oh boy. lol I have plenty of BBQ pulled pork and I think
tomorrow I'm going to try my hand at making some soft pretzel sandwich
rolls. I've been looking at recipes and I have settled on Jeff Mauro's
recipe, as he is the Sandwich King after all.

What's the link? I saw a hot dog roll, but it seems fussy... mainly
because it calls for two kinds of flour. Guy Fieri's recipe is more
accessible AFAIC.

it actually works better if you take leftover baked M&C, cut them into
bread like slices and brown them on a grill, use as bread

I have seen that on a menu that is posted where I sometimes wait

and I certainly wouldn't try it now. Even my daughter thinks it

The "restaurant" seems to have an endless buffet of really bad

LOLOL I've driven past a Golden Corral on the way to the airport.
Seems to me putting mac & cheese on pizza crust is really hitting the
low end of the dining spectrum. I'm suspicious of the cleanliness of
any "all you can eat" buffets. One employee doesn't seem happy, either.

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/08/...dumpster-ribs/

They allegedly hide "bad meat" by the dumpsters when the food/health
inspectors come by. The management says the food was never served.
Well then, why was it filmed still layed out on metal trays or in
plastic storage containers?

You couldn't pay me to eat in a place like Golden Corral. I'm reminded
of posts from Zephyrhills, Florida...

What, the same Denny's that was involved in that nasty discrimination
lawsuit?

I confess to consuming a few Grand Slams myself ;-(
