There are lots of recipes like bbq pork tenderloin where you know EXACTLY what it is and what the main ingredients are. There are also tons of recipes that force you to read the recipe because the recipe name makes zero sense and doesn't tell you a darn thing. It's "What the...week!"
I rattled off the list of oddly named potential dinners and asked my other half to choose what I'd make for dinner tonight. He chose Shipwreck. Sounds seafood-y, right? It's totally not.
"Shipwreck" (6 quart pot)
~1 lb ground beef, browned and drained (I substituted ground turkey)
~4 potatoes, cut into fry-like strips
~1 onion, diced
~1 can light kidney beans, drained
~4 oz Velveeta, cubed
~1 can tomato soup, condensed
~salt
~pepper
Place ground beef in greased crock pot.
Place potatoes on top of beef.
Place onion over potatoes.
Place beans on top of onion.
Place Velveeta on top of beans.
Pour soup on top.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
6 servings.
Does it look like a shipwreck? It certainly didn't taste like a shipwreck...not that I do a lot of tasting of shipwrecks, but I can imagine. About half way through cooking, I, for some reason I can't remember, searched for other shipwreck recipes. Some have rice (in addition to the potatoes). Some have carrots. Some have celery. Some have all 3. I don't think that adding any of those ingredients would make this look any shipwreck-ier. This is another one my other half has requested we have more often. It's pretty easy, ingredient-wise, so, yeah, I'm making this again. Next time, I'll add the some veggies, but not the rice. It just seems like carb overkill to me...
