Lasagna, WA Corrections Style

2 7oz dry mac and cheese boxes 2 sticks mozzarella 1 tub smoked Gouda cheese spread ( or substitute ) ( I used half a tub cause thats all I could spare ) 1 pouch of tomato soup concentrate from union supply package 2 pouch chilorio pork (2.5oz) or other meat ( I used 1 pouch because again, all I could spare ) should be something greasy if you use another meat 4 Tbsp butter 30 grams sugar ( about 5 cubes ) 2 boxes pepperoni ( I used 1 1/2 ) 1 or 2 pouches green or black olives ( green was cheaper, black might be better for this ) 1.5 containers queso cotija 1-2 white plastic spoonfuls of tomato chicken bouillion from the package Spices : paprika, red pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper Microwave Instructions - Cook the water til it has tiny bubbles - Insert macaroni, set aside cheese packet - cook until soft enough. Have ice cold water ready. - Immediately strain the noodles and then, pour in the cold water to prevent them from sticking. Then, strain them again and set them aside. - Cook the chilorio pork til the grease bubbles up, then put the tomato soup concentrate and the marinara, the butter, the hunk of Gouda, on top. Cook and stir this until the cheese dissolves. Put some of the macaroni packet, the spices. the bouillon, and the sugar in and keep heating it and stirring it until you're satisfied. - Chop the olives up. Grate the mozzarella ( I guess you could have done this first ) . The cheese is grated with the mesh from the shaker bottle on Union supply. - Mix the macaroni and the olives and sauce, and pour in a shitload of queso cotija - Put half this mix in the bowl. - Microwave the mozzarella until its half melted , then spread it on top of the layer of noodles. ( This is because the mozzarella on store doesn't melt very easily, so if you put it on just grated, then cook the whole thing, it will not melt right ) - Cook the pepperoni but not til its crispy, just to where some of the grease comes out and its hot -Put the pepperoni on top of the layer of mozzarella and noodles. - Now put the rest of the noodled on top and then do all that again Go directly to your room before you are set upon by rabid dogs, drug addicts, gamblers, and rapists who want your delicious food, courtesy of yours truly a real prison chef if nothing else . This is enough food for at least a whole day. I made it last night and am still eating it now, and its the afternoon.
