Clams in White Sauce

There are times where you need to whip something up really quickly, and you don't have terribly many ingredients lying around.  Hopefully, you've got some milk, butter, and flour.  If you're really lucky, you've got a can of clams too.  If you've got all that, lets get started!

Ingredients:

1 can of clams
2 T flour
2 T butter
1 cup milk
1/2 an onion, diced
Oregano
Garlic powder

Equipment:
1 quart pot
1 spoon
can opener
measuring implements

Directions:
1. Heat up the pot, adding in the butter
2. Add the flour to the melted butter, mixing to create a roux
3. Once well mixed, add in the milk and clams
4. Stir in the spices
5. Once thickened, remove from heat

Serve on top of Orecchiette, shells, or spaghetti (or any other kind of noodle.  I'm not your boss.)
Should feed 4~5 people.  If you double the recipe, you can easily just add more flour and neglect to add extra butter.

Possible Alterations:
Everything mentioned here, except for the clams, goes into a standard white sauce.  You could use shrimp, tuna, mushrooms, or any other type of addition that you desire.  If you add cheese, you can make a pretty tasty cheese sauce.  If you don't have butter, you can use oil, or shortening, or probably even bacon fat.

Happy Gaming!

Tater Tot Casserole

The recipe for this came to my attention a couple weeks ago on Reddit.  I'm a follower of f7u12d (r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuud), and this recipe looked so simple that I just had to try it.  Turns out it's both delicious and cheap, so I just had to share.

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen tater tots
1~1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or some other cream soup)
1/2 cup milk
1 can tuna
1/3 bag frozen vegetables

Equipment:
1 big bowl
1 spatula
cheese grater
9x13 casserole dish
can opener
measuring implements

Directions:
1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees F
2. Place the tots in a layer that covers the bottom of the pan.
3. Mix half the cheese, the condensed soup, milk, tuna, and vegetables in the bowl.
4. Pour the mixture on top of the tots, smoothing it out with your spatula.
5. Spread the remaining cheese on top of the casserole and place in the oven

Once the cheese has melted and browned, serve and enjoy!  Should feed 6~8 people (less if they're all considerable hungry)

Possible Alterations:
There are many things that can be done with this recipe.  It can use any type of cheese, any type of condensed cream soup, and the types of filler like tuna and frozen vegetables can vary.  The only thing I would really recommend would be to make sure to have some Sriracha on hand!

As always, happy gaming!
