I do ask that you grant me the opportunity to acknowledge the title of today’s post and state that by no means do I intend to communicate any disrespect toward anyone in poverty.
If I might add, I think it’s a wee bit sad I have to acknowledge this regardless, but given the state of this world and how ridiculously touchy and sensitive a lot of folks are, I figured it would be best to be on the safe side.
A few nights ago, I made a dish for dinner that my husband conned ‘the poor man’s burrito bowl.’ You’ll hopefully understand why he called it this once I explain the recipe and the required ingredients, but I found it to be rather humorous.
The reason Blaine deemed this creation what he did is that while this could be considered a burrito bowl, that would be a significant reach seeing as it doesn’t exactly contain components typical of a burrito bowl.
Without further ado, here is how to make a poor man’s burrito bowl.
You will need (to serve two):
- A tbsp of olive oil
- A healthy dollop of minced garlic
- Two sausages of choice (I used honey garlic, one of my favourites)
- Two cups of white rice
- Hot pepper rings and two tbsp of their oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
- Onion powder
- Roughly two tbsps of cheese (whatever your preference)
Instructions:
- Begin by warming a frying pan with your olive oil, adding the minced garlic once the pan is warm
- While the garlic is cooking, remove the casings from your sausage and put it in the same pan
- Using a spoon or spatula, break up the sausage into small pieces
- While your sausage is cooking, prepare your rice however you usually do
- Once the rice is cooked, add it to the same pan with the sausage, and add in your hot peppers and oil and all of your spices
- Once all of the ingredients are well mixed and cooked through, add in your cheese
- Allow the cheese to melt, and serve
Again, not exactly a burrito bowl, but it’s close enough.
