So since we all love food I thought it would be fun to get a "gamer nerd recipe swap" post going. So, reply with some of your favorite recipes that you'd like to share. It can be anything.. breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert, snacks, booze, whatever!

I'll start with something I came up with the other night, and really enjoyed..

Chicken Enchiladasagna

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 big can of Enchilada sauce (14 oz I think, maybe it was bigger......)
1 8oz bag of shredded cheddar cheese
1 8ox bag of shredded pepper jack cheese
12 flour or corn tortillas (more or less depending on how many layers you want, figure 4 per layer, I used flour FWIW)
1 pre cooked rotisserie chicken, or about 4 boneless chicken breasts
13x9" (or similar) aluminum baking pan

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, no idea what it would be for other parts of the globe...

Take all the meat off your chicken and shred or dice it up. If you're like me, you'll be smart and not include the skin so you can snack on it while you cook. Or if you used boneless chicken breasts, just cut em up the same. Spray your pan with cooking spray, then spoon some enchilada sauce in the bottom so it makes a really thin coating, so that the tortillas don't stick and ruin everything.

Next, cut all your tortillas in half down the middle. Take 8 tortilla halves (4 total) and make your first layer by first dunking a piece in the enchilada sauce first and covering the whole pan with your tortillas pieces. Use the flat sides of the halves along the sides of the pan. Mix together your 2 cheeses and then sprinkle a couple handfulls over the first layer, then add half of your chicken all over. Lastly, drizzle a few spoonfulls of enchilada sauce over the cheese & chicken. Repeat for your 2nd layer and try to use up the rest of your chicken. Next make your 3rd layer and then add just cheese and sauce. I used more sauce on top than the other layers, but also kept some for extra after it was done.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 or until the top layer cheese is all melty and starts to get crispy around the edges of the pan. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then cut it in squares and enjoy!

Toast:
100g toast.


Put toast in microwave.

Nutella:
15 to 1750g nutella

Eat.

Not to be too picky but doesn't toast go in a toaster?

It's impossible to make toast in a microwave isn't it? Hell even putting pre-toasted bread slices into a microwave just makes it limper and no more toasty.

It can be done with foil, or some other crisping device.

*ahem* trollololol

Seriously when i cook i just wing it. Start with onions put in some meat, tin of chopped tomatoes and go from there. Usually turns out okay.

Or a bit of carbonara yummy.

Half of the things I end up making are similar, fry off some leeks/onions/carrots/celery/peppers/garlic/shallot or some combination of those with butter/olive oil/sunflower oil then cook off the mince and chuck in some tinned tomatoes with some kind of herbs/spices.

Oh on a related note:

Apparently you can reheat cold pizza by stir frying it (no oil) in a wok. Keeps the base nice and crispy.

I was told this by a real life asian person so you know its good.

Turkey
White Bread
Mayo
American Mustard

Back in the Dark Ages we reheated pizza by placing it in the oven. The crust stayed crispy.

Fettuccine, Soy Sauce, Garlic (fresh, preferably). Cook the fettuccine until it's almost done, saute garlic in the wok, then add fettuccine to wok and season with soy sauce.

If necessary, add veggies (mushroom and zucchini) and/or chicken.

they say leftover pizza is why god invented the toaster oven.
