NatureTM 100 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Maybe you shouldn't lie to your friends. Try combining different types of meat. Wrap everything in bacon. Deep fry in oil whenever possible, especially with twinkies and oreos. The goal is to make everything as unhealthy as possible. When making burgers, substitute doughnuts for buns, a very popular dish. Frozen pizza is also very popular. Buy an extra bag of shredded cheese and add that to the frozen pizza. The trick is to cook the pizza half-way and then add the cheese. The secret to flavor is calories. I'm serious about that! You're welcome. gatesphere 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jsolarski 94 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 One of my favorites - bacon wrapped filet mignon with a baked potato with Cheddar, bacon and sour creme or Baked macaroni and cheese with bacon Good old BLTs If you want just good old classic American Meat Loaf -- all you need is some ground beef, onions, ketchup, and a loaf pan mix ingredients and then bake and if you want it extra special add some bacon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hope this was a legitimate question. No outbound links, so not a spammer, but posts for the first time asking about cooking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I would probably pull his plug before I gave him a recipe. If we do that then we should keep this thread around as another party thread Except we fill it with recipes of our favorite foods. I will contribute a recipe for home made rhubarb juice.

rockets4kids 204 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Assuming this is not a troll.... The best source for "American" cooking is "The Joy of Cooking." There are a number of versions (1931, 1964, 1975, 1997, 2006) that reflect popular American cooking at the time of publication. You are *probably* going to want the 1964 edition which embodies 1950s palette. jsolarski and gordon 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gordon 229 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Even if it is, there might be others with a keen eye toward a good meal or a dozen . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 This isn't a troll but America's Test Kitchen has to be one of the best cooking shows on PBS these days. I use their bread recipe almost weekly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nexusone1984 32 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nothing more American then Burgers and Pizza.... Hamburger: Bun (bread), Meat (Ground Cow), Cheese, Mustard, Ketchup, pickles... Pizza: base made from bread, Meat(Ground Cow, and Ground Pig), Cheese, tomato sauce... BTW the tomato sauce can be made from Ketchup, Mustard... Pickles optional on pizza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GeekDoc 226 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just had breakfast with eggs, cheese, and chorizo (spicy sausage). I can FEEL my arteries hardening... ...and it feels delicious! (I did balance it a bit with some black beans and salsa. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
