What the bowls are supposed to look like

One of those "Available for a limited time" menu items, KFC's Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowl is a quick lunch or dinner for just $5.

Here's the description from the KFC website:  Our Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowl features our signature rich, creamy macaroni and cheese, topped with our crispy fried chicken nuggets and a three-cheese blend. Available in classic or spicy for a limited time!

What I got served by KFC, it's swimming in a lame hot sauce, turning the breading on the nuggets soggy

I'm a fan of the classic version Bowl, but I recently tried the spicy version and I have to say I was less than impressed.  Drowning in a not-very-spicy concoction the Bowl was not repeat buy worthy, I can craft a better version myself.  So screw the "Limited Time" crap, make a copycat version!  You can read the review here.

So here's the copycat version of KFC's Spicy Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowl, done with convenience in mind.

Ingredients:

• One box of mac & cheese, prepared as directed with a cook's tip
• One serving of your favorite brand of frozen chicken nuggets, prepared as directed
• 1 ounce of Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
• A few splashes of Frank's Redhot or your favorite hot sauce brand
• A healthy pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

My version looks and tastes way better!

It's pretty straightforward, pretty much a preparation per product instructions and assembling, rather than a bonafide recipe.  Cook's tip:  Add a few dashes of onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to the milk used in making the mac & cheese.  Do this when the pasta is cooking, mixing in a small bowl or ramekin.  This allows the seasonings to bloom (especially the garlic and onion powders) for a bit and will elevate the overall flavor profile of the mac & cheese.  A little dried parsley flake is a nice add too.  Another cook's tip:  If you're baking the chicken nuggets rather than frying, hit them with cooking spray before placing them in the oven, this will crisp up the breading a little nicer.  Serve up the mac & cheese in a bowl, top with 4-6 chicken nuggets and hit them with the hot sauce as desired.  Add the shredded Colby Jack (the heat from the pasta and chicken will provide a nice melt), then hit the dish with the crushed red pepper flake. 

As I was writing up this copycat version to include checking into a nutritional comparison, the KFC bowl is a salt bomb!  It doesn't taste salty but does pack a whopping 2,270mg of sodium.  That's 95% of the recommended daily intake in one bowl!  Yikes!  The copycat version, while still not "healthy", (but we're talking a fast food dish after all) has 1450mg of sodium in comparison.

This is also an inexpensive dish to prepare, costing less than $1 per serving using ingredients purchased at Aldi and items I had on hand in my pantry and fridge.  BONUS:  I can make more tasty bowls to boot! 

• Aldi discount brand "Cheese Club" mac & cheese - $0.50 (3 servings per box)
• Kirkland chicken nuggets - $5.89 (11 servings per bag)
• Happy Farms Colby Jack brick cheese - $1.99 (8 servings)

Why pay $5 for the lousy-prep bowl KFC served me when I can create a bowl that looks and tastes WAY better for less than $1?  I love the KFC concept, thank you, but it's poorly executed.  I'll take the copycat, please.

Prep time:  15 minutes, or about the same amount of time it would take you to jump in your vehicle, drive to the nearest KFC, wait in the drive-thru line, then drive back to your place of work or home.

And I'm left wondering, "Who has the best chicken nuggets in fast food?"  And, "Who makes the best-frozen chicken nuggets?"  Sounds like the next couple of Bachelor on the Cheap Food Challenges to me...

BOSTON – Pecan lovers, rejoice! Dunkin’ is honoring National Pecan Day today with a delightful surprise, announcing the return of Butter Pecan Swirl to Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide starting April 26.

Dunkin’ die-hards spoke, and the company listened – Butter Pecan is returning this month as a permanent addition to the menu. This long-time favorite flavor features notes of butter roasted pecan and sweet cream. Starting April 26, no matter the season, guests can add the Butter Pecan Swirl to hot or iced coffee, espresso drinks, cold brew, frozen coffee or frozen chocolate.

Since its initial launch in 2013, the Butter Pecan Swirl has become an elusive limited-time treat that has charmed Dunkin’ fans for a short period of time every year. As Dunkin’s second most sought-after flavor (only outshined by the Pumpkin powerhouse), Butter Pecan has inspired devoted fans to petition and passionately plead on social media for it to become a permanent menu item.

“On the 10-year anniversary of Butter Pecan Swirl’s debut, we knew it was time to make this adored flavor a core menu staple,” said Jill McVicar Nelson, Dunkin's Chief Marketing Officer. "The requests from guests and our Dunkin’ teammates to make this Swirl a regular offering are staggering. We’re thrilled to finally grant their wish, making this a permanent delight for Dunkin’ fans to savor all year long.”

And that’s not all—while guests will enjoy classics like Butter Pecan Iced Coffee again, there is even more pecan news coming from the brand later this month. Stay tuned for a few extra surprises in store to delight Dunkin’ guests.

So you've got a bunch of ham leftover from the holiday dinner you made, or ham you were given to take home...  You can't just keep slicing a big thick slice of it off and eating it as is.....  Well, you can, but there's no variety in that.

What else can you do with it?

Lots.

There's the obvious, make a sandwich.  Some ham, Swiss cheese, a little mustard between a couple of slices of bread or in a bun...  It's another dose of YUM!

You could grab a box of scalloped potatoes from your pantry, make the potatoes per the box instructions, chunk up some of that ham, throw that in before popping those taters in the oven, and boom!  Dinner.  To add a little kick, finely dice up some jalapeno pepper to include in the mix.  TASTY!

You could do a similar thing by grabbing that box of mac & cheese from the pantry and in about 10 minutes, you'll have another lunch or dinner.

Dice some ham up and put it in the fridge for later use.  You can quickly grab that diced ham for a number of dishes.....  Diced ham and scrambled eggs for breakfast; Diced ham on a salad;  Ham fried rice;  Ham & Ramen; Ham & beans in the crock pot; Grab some tortillas to make ham & cheese quesadillas; open up a tube of crescent rolls and bake them up with ham and green onion.

There are all kinds of things you can do with leftover ham, have fun with it!

Here's a quick recipe for the grill - Ham Kabobs.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of pineapple chunks
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• a splash of orange juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• one medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• leftover ham, cut into cubes
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Fire up the grill.  While the 'outdoor stove' is getting warm and ready to receive, drain the pineapple, saving the juice for a marinade.  Mix that pineapple juice, yellow mustard, clove, optional cayenne pepper, olive oil, and orange juice in a small bowl, and set aside.  Put the pineapple chunks, green pepper, and ham on wooden skewers (you soaked them in water for about 30 minutes, right?).   Grill for about 5-8 minutes over direct heat, basting the kabobs with the marinade and rotating frequently until cooked through.  Makes a great appetizer or side dish!

When is the last time you snacked on Funyuns and for the younger crowd, have you ever tried them?

First introduced in 1969, it's an old-school snack that has perhaps gotten a bit lost among all the new chip snack options available today.

Made by FritoLay, the aptly named snack is fun to eat, providing a crunchy texture and a zesty onion flavor.  The recipe changed in the early 2000's, with the rings getting downsized a bit but given a firmer bite.  They still pack that zesty onion flavor and the update better emulates fried onion rings, even though a baked product. 

I haven't eaten Funyuns in a while and I had forgotten how tasty they are.  With the use of whole grains in the recipe and at just 100 calories per serving, this is an old-school chip you don't have to feel as guilty about when eating compared to other chips. 

Available at Walmart for $6.48 for a 10-count box of 3/4 ounce single serving bags, I'm giving Funyuns 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  They're better than I remembered and don't add very much to the daily calorie count.  They're repeat buy worthy.

QuikTrip makes a pretty darn good soft pretzel.

Never having tried one from QuikTrip before, I did a review of their regular, salted pretzel a few months back.

QT does the classic justice, brushed with butter and nicely salted, the pretzel hit all the notes you're looking for, the golden brown, lightly crispy exterior, the soft, fluffy interior, and a very pleasant chew.

So with that good experience in mind, today I stopped in my neighborhood QT and ordered a Parmesan Pretzel.

It was tasty, I like it over the classic salted pretzel.  Brushed with melted butter and then sprinkled with a heavy dose of Parmesan, the combination of that soft dough and the cheesy goodness delivers a really nice umami bite, as in, didn't want to put it down munchable!

Available for $2.99, I'm giving the QT Kitchens Parmesan soft pretzel 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars. It's a great snack, reasonably priced, and worthy of a repeat buy. Giving the pretzel offerings you might find at the mall, airport, or a state fair a run for their money, I'll have to try the cinnamon and sugar pretzel next time I stop in my neighborhood QT.
