I can cook adequately, but I'm not necessarily good at improvising in the kitchen. Today, though, I really wanted some veggies and I got a wild hair to just start throwing things together. It was awesome.

Here's what I used: a small can of Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies (not drained), a small can of mushrooms (drained and rinsed), somewhere between 1/2 and 1 cup of diced onions, some olive oil, a bit of seasoning salt (I used Morton's Season All), a dash or so of garlic powder, about a 1/4 cup of V8 juice, some red pepper flakes, and around a teaspoon of cornstarch.

First, put about a tbsp or so of oil in a skillet on medium-high heat, and add the onions and mushrooms once the oil is shimmering a bit. Sprinkle some seasoning salt and garlic powder on it, and cook until lightly browned. Once browned, add the Ro-Tel tomatoes and juice and add the V8. I also added some red pepper flakes at this point. Bring to a boil, and keep stirring. When the juices reduce a bit, add about 1/2-1 tsp of cornstarch and mix well, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

I made a small omelet and poured this over the top of it. FANTASTIC.

Very similar to my college go-to.

Brown and drain ground beef, add a can of rotel(hot), oil, dried onions, mushrooms, season all, & garlic salt. Serve over whatever rice/noodles were in the pantry and top with Colby-Jack.

Ate at least weekly for years.

I love food. In college I probably cooked at least 1 cheese burger a week. I would do diced tomatoes with rice and chicken or hamburg. I'd roast a chicken. Chicken parm all the time too. I also got Pho at least once a week. I deep fried meatballs, fish, chicken, croissant dough. I did this and managed to keep under 200 lbs until after i graduated.

Can't go wrong with rotel. That shit mixes with EVERYTHING.
