Prison Spread Recipe
Prison Spread Recipe, often simply referred to as “spread,” is the ultimate comfort food for many inmates, concocted from various items that can be purchased from a prison commissary or traded among inmates. It’s a dish that’s about innovation, making do, and spicing up the monotony of everyday prison fare.
Ingredients
- Instant ramen noodles - 1 package
- Canned tuna or chicken - 1 can 5 oz
- Cheese spread - 2 tablespoons
- Pickle - 1 diced
- Hot sauce - To taste
- Chips optional - A handful
Instructions
- Prepare the Ramen: Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain any excess water, because soggy spread is a crime in itself.
- Combine Ingredients: In your bowl, combine the cooked ramen, drained tuna (or your choice of protein), cheese spread, diced pickle, and a healthy drizzle of hot sauce. Mix it all together until it looks like a masterpiece Picasso would be proud of—if he was into culinary arts, that is.
- Add Crunch: If you’re feeling adventurous, crush some chips and sprinkle them on top for that extra crunch. Trust me; it’s a game-changer.
- Heat It Up: Give your spread a quick blast in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, just to get everything nice and melty. If you’re going old school (or let’s say, “prison-style”), you can skip this step.
- Taste and Season: Give your creation a taste and adjust the seasoning with more hot sauce or salt if needed. Remember, it’s all about making it your own.
