Today was a long day and to top it off, I haven’t been food shopping in a week. These are the nights every cooking college student dreads.
The typical starting point for my no-food-left dinners is the freezer. In my freezer, I found three boxes of English muffins, sugar-free ice pops, and, in the back right corner, two frozen hamburger patties.
Since ice pops aren’t the best dinner base, I started with the hamburger. I added a few other pantry ingredients and came up with a new and satisfying meal.
