Discover the Prison Spread Recipe — a bold, flavorful mix of ramen, chips, sausage, and cheese. Comfort food with a twist, ready in just 15 minutes!
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl (or a clean gallon-sized Ziploc bag if you want the authentic experience)
- Spoon or spatula for mixing
- Sharp knife for chopping any extras
- Cutting board
- Pot of boiling water (or an electric kettle) for cooking the ramen
- Serving spoons or forks (or… just dig in, family-style)
Ingredients
- 3 packs of instant ramen chicken or beef
- 1 large bag flavored chips Doritos, Cheetos, or BBQ chips
- 1 beef summer sausage or beef stick diced
- 1 small can of beans optional
- 1 pouch cheese spread or ½ cup shredded cheese
- 2–3 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 pickle or jalapeño finely chopped
- Extra seasoning packets ramen or taco seasoning
- Water just enough to soften noodles
Instructions
- Boil the ramen until it is softened. Soak out much of the water, and keep a drop or two to blend.
- Crush the chips in the bag until they are small, and pour into a mixing bowl (or use the bag itself).
- Place your cooked pasta on top of the potato chips.
- Add the diced sausage, beans, and chopped pickles.
- Add the cheese spread and stir it in until it is coated everywhere.
- Taste it with the hot sauce and seasoning packets.
- This is the entertaining bit - all of it gets mashed in a large pot till it is a big, sticky, savory mush.
- Pick up forks and eat family style. Or wrap it burrito-fashion in a tortilla, should you be feeling fancy.
