What's your go-to comfort food? (beehaw.org)

What is something you could never get tired of eating? That one dish, meal, or snack that no matter the day, you know if you had just a piece that time would stand still while you enjoyed that food for just one moment?

Care to share the recipe if it's homemade?

Mine is bacon wrapped water chestnuts.

Take sliced bacon and wrap around whole, individual water chestnuts. Secure together with a toothpick. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place the wrapped water chestnuts on the foil. Once you've made enough, cover with a unhealthy sprinkle of brown sugar and soy sauce. The "sprinkle" should be enough so some sugar and soy sauce have powdered each wrapped snack.

Broil until bacon is cooked. Watch for fire while using broil. Let them cool until warm and enjoy!

Mac & cheese, tuna, and peas! It's quick, easy, comforting, and I never get tired of it.

Made like a casserole? Sounds awesome!

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, kinda! Like a stove top casserole, almost. I usually make the boxed mac & cheese according to the box's instructions, then when that's done, I mix in a drained can of peas and a drained can of tuna and make sure it's mixed well and is warm all the way through. Then I add salt and pepper to taste. I've also done it in a microwave safe casserole dish in the microwave when I don't feel up to babysitting something on the stove.

I bet it would be great as a more traditional casserole in a casserole dish in the oven, maybe with some potato chips crushed on top & baked until they get nice and crispy. Ooh, or maybe some tater tots? You've got me thinking!! :)

If it sounds good, you should definitely try it! & let me know how you like it, if ya want! :) It's easy peasy, hard to mess up, plenty of protein and pretty well balanced compared to a lot of quick, cheap, & easy meals and comfort foods, and it's pretty inexpensive. I'm very enthusiastic about it, lol! 😄
