This is a meal that’s perfect for a bachelor. With a well-stocked spice cabinet and about 10-15 dollars in materials, you can make a meal that will feed you all week that’s full of protein and full of flavor. Try it, and thank me later.
Chuck-wagon Mess 'o Beans.
½ pound of Pinto beans
½ Great Northern Beans
3 cups of chicken stock
1 can PBR (or other light Lager/Pilsner. Mexican Cervesas work well too)
2 good sized ham-hocks
½ cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6-8 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 chopped jalapeno (exlcude if you have not the Constitution of real men)
1 chopped Pablano peppers
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place the ham-hocks in a large crockpot. Rinse the beans thoroughly in a colander, watching out for small stones that can sometimes be found. Pour them over the ham hocks. Place the vegetation over the beans and ham-hocks. Dump the spices and brown sugar over the beans. Pour the beer and the stock over the whole bit. Stir gently, making sure the ham-hocks remain submerged as best as possible. Place the crock pot on high and let it go for 6-7 hours, stirring occasionally until the beans are soft and tender and there is little left of the ham-hocks. Do your best to get the bones out from the ham-hocks and serve over rice or just in a bowl.

There are a lot of steps to making “Pope Jon’s Ultimate Quesadillas of America: Baconzilla vs. Cheesepocalypse (Lethal Awesomeness Edition),” so try to keep up.
And I’m not numbering them because I don’t feel like it, and this is my recipe, so back off.
Frying pan.
Stove.
Turn the heat up, but not that much.
Tortilla.
Cheese.
Bacon.
Meat.
Other crap you may or may not want inside.
Bacon.
Cheese.
Bend tortilla in half. (If you need me to explain that you keep the ingredients inside, start over and add more bacon this time.)
Another Tortilla.
Repeat all the ingredients, and don’t whine about them not being listed again.
Realize you forgot to play some sick cooking music, and run off in a panic to get some tunes flowing.
Get there just in time to save them from being burnt.
Now put a bunch of cheese on the outside of the tortillas.
Get into your music like no one is watching. (Upbeat, loud music is recommended.)
Remove tortillas and repeat steps as necessary until you have enough.
Rinse out pan while still hot to see the water sizzle.
Forget to put ingredients away for a few hours.
Return to put ingredients away.
Realize you’re hungry again.
Repeat all steps, except don’t forget the music this time.

Thanks to my time working at a sandwich place, I fell in love with the creation of French bread pizza.
Ingredients:
• Day old bread from Jimmy Johns
• Pizza sauce of any variety
• Oregano
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Mozzarella cheese
• Toppings of your choosing
Directions:
1. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Cut the bread in half then cut it open as if you were making a sandwich but all the way open.
3. Drizzle olive oil in a zig zag pattern over the bread to lightly coat it.
4. Gently cover with oregano sprinkling it over the oregano. You can use as much or as little as you want.
5. Using a spoon, dish out pizza sauce and spread pizza sauce across the top of the bread.
6. Put on all your toppings. (They stay better when they are covered with cheese.) I mean load that baby up! It should be overflowing with toppings!!
7. Go crazy with the cheese! The more cheese the better. You can never have too much!
8. Place on cookie sheet.
9. Turn your oven broiler in low.
10. Cook for 3-5 minutes. But make sure you are watching it so it doesn't burn.
11. Seriously just sit and watch it cook. You'll regret it if you don't.
12. Let cool (or not, it's your choice).
13. Enjoy!
