(Ok, so I'm really just waiting for the water to soak in. Sue me.)
HOT DOG JAMBALAYA (a.k.a. "Poor Man's Jumbalaya" or "Lazy Jambalaya")
Ingredients: instant rice, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 2 hot dogs (thawed), fresh garlic (optional), bam ingredients*
Chop up the two hot dogs (and a piece of garlic) and mix it with 3/4 cups** of rice in a bowl. Add hot sauce and bam ingredients (I used garlic powder and Morton Hot Salt). Pour in slightly more water than you did rice. Add a little bit of salt, keeping in mind that the hot dogs and hot sauce are already contributing a decent amount of salt (may be skipped depending on what bam ingredients you used.)
Microwave on HIGH for about 5 minutes, so that the water comes up between 1/2 and 3/4 of the way to the top of the rice (takes a little trial and error.) Stir.
Bump a few threads on Gaia, like I'm doing now. Then check to see how much water is left. When it's gone, eat.
*"Bam ingredient" refers to any optional ingredient added to a recipe to "kick it up a notch." For this recipe, pretty much anything you'd throw into chili or regular jambalaya would work.
**Based on measurements eyeballed with a normal cup, not any kind of fancy "measuring cup."
Now doesn't this just look delicious?
Now if you'll excuse me... I have to go check my water level. wink
