Introducing the Broke Bloke Gourmet

There’s no way for me to hide that I love junk food.  The problem with loving relationship, however, is that it costs money.  Money is something that we don’t always have, particularly right before payday (now).  Of course, I’m not the only one with this particular combination of loves and lack of money, so I’m starting a new segment on The Junk Food Junkie – the Broke Bloke Gourmet.

Or, at least, that’s what it’s being called right now.  I reserve the right to change it at any time with or without giving a crap advanced notice.

Here’s where I’ll share some of my crazy-delicious and just plain crazy concoctions I’ve made during dry spells between proper junk food binges.  I’d love to say this is going to be a weekly spot, but that’s laughable who knows if I’ll be reliable enough to stick to that schedule. 

Without further ado, I give you the first entry:  Freezer Breakfast Sliders.

Ingredients

2 Eggo Cinnamon Toast waffles

4 Banquet Brown ‘n Serve sausage patties (I like original, but whatev)

1 slice cheese, quartered

Preparation

Start up your sausage patties however you feel like doing them.  For a quickie, I do these in the microwave – four patties in an 1,100 watt oven take just over a minute.  I put them on a paper towel, zap them on high for 45 seconds, then put one of the mini-squares of cheese on each one for the last 20 seconds. 

Put waffles in the toaster.  Turn it on.  Don’t light things on fire.

When the waffles are popped, tear them into their little bread-shaped quarters, place one sausage patty with cheese on top, and crown it with another waffle toast thing.  Drizzle with syrup, if desired.

Yield:  4 sliders

Servings:  ½

Deliciousness:  4 pork snickerdoodles out of 5 possible apple pies

These tiny little nuggets of joy are wonderful, and a great way to use up the last couple of waffles or patties in a box that aren’t enough to make a full breakfast.  The only problem?  They are sliders.  Which means you need to make like, forty to get full up.  Okay, perhaps you skinny types “normal” people might not, but I do.  They make a good snack, anyway.
