Chili Cheese Omelet

The simplicity of this omelet is really what makes it to special to me. For those of you who were already concerned about my sanity, please disregard the following diatribe: This omelet in particular floods me with emotion. It reminds me of growing up. Just me and my Mom, on our own. She was essentially a single Mom just doing her best to raise her daughter. And much like we go through now, there were days when money was tight and food was scarce. You did the best you could with what you had. My Mom had this amazing ability to create the most delicious food with practically nothing on hand... and this omelet was one of my absolute favorites. A can of chili, a little cheese and a few eggs and we ate like queens. I love you Mom! Thanks for doing all you did!!!

Chili Cheese Omelet

Basic Omelet

Whip up the omelet, throw it in the pan. Warm up chili and cheese. Stuff, fold, noms. Make a memory with your kids today!

Just some leftover Hormel and a little shredded cheese!

Found this in the back of my fridge! NICE! 

Ooohhhh.. a little sloppy Joee!

I shed a little tear...

My Review:

Well if you read the beginning then I need not even review it. You already know how I feel about this omelet. I really liked the addition of the nacho cheese, a little extra spice is always nice!









"I'll Have the #3" Omelet.

Super sized. Hold the pickles. And the onions. And the mayo. And the lettuce. And the tomato. In fact, just mash it all up, throw it in an omelet and call it good. Very, very good.

I'll have the #3 Omelet

Ingredients:

Leftover cheeseburger (or turkey burger!)
Leftover Tater tots
American Cheese
Ketchup
Mustard
Basic Omelet

Throw the chop down on your burger. Smash up the tots. Throw in the microwave. Start burning that omelet and when you have flipped that sucker, toss a few slices of cheese down and stuff it to the gills. Fold, plate, squirt some ketchup and mustard on it. Wrap it up in some parchment paper, throw it in a paper sack. Get in your car, drive to the nearest parking lot and then NOMS, dropping everything on your lap and all over your seat. You forgot the napkins, so use your kids sweater in the back seat to clean up your mess. You are thirsty. You realize someone forgot your soda. Drive back home and demand it, free of charge. Put the lid on wrong so when you pick it up it pulls off dropping the entire cup onto your floorboard, on your dash, and into the little crevices not even microscopic soda eating bacteria can fit into. Curse loudly. Run back in the house to change your clothes. Throw a towel on the wet seat and go on about your day.

One of these things look a little out of place!

Your entire daily value of calories on one plate!

Eye SEE YOU!!!

I put too much milk in the mix.. see the edges, how scrambly and ugly they are?

When you use too much milk this is what happens on the flip. SO close to a scramble I shivered a little.

EYE see you tooo!!!!

Nothing a little cheese can't repair though!

Like every other red-blooded American, I take my super sized #3 with a DIET Pepsi! Of course!

My review:

I have made this omelet SO many times. It is one of my absolute favorites! BUT today, thanks to a suggestion by Deniz, one of my loyal readers, I added ketchup for the first time. And some mustard too, as this is my normal burger moisture of choice. It is exactly what it had been missing all along! It was excellent.. not to surprising flavor wise... it tasted exactly as expected! But that's what I was shooting for, so GO me!















Egg roll Omelet

Cheating is generally frowned upon in this society. I cheated today. It felt a little dirty. I am still deciding whether I like that feeling or not. But, in my defense, I don't really have the luxury of making a delightful Asian meal. My children and my husband would not approve. I believe that would rather starve themselves if I threw some Kung-Pao on their plate. So I kinda HAD to cheat, right? RIGHT!  TOTALLY! YES!!!! Justification! HIYA!!!!

IF you had the pleasure of a Chinese food dinner last night, you of course can use any and all of the leftover's you have in your fridge. I will be jealous, it's true. But don't worry about me... I'll be fine.... *sigh*


Egg roll Omelet

Ingredients:

Egg rolls (pre-made, oven bake kind)
Sweet and Sour Sauce (the scary little packet that comes with the egg rolls)
Soy Sauce
Basic Omelet

Prepare your egg rolls according to the package directions. IF you were cool enough to make your own than I am jealous and want a recipe. When cooled enough to touch (but not cold), chop up into desired size pieces and slap into your omelet after the successful flip. Fold and drizzle with soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, OOOH and some hot mustard if you have it. I don't. Wish I did. Bow out of respect to your creation, and NOMS.





Yep... here's the proof. I am a cheater.

Yes, Master dishwasher Everit is eating mac and cheese and hot dogs for breakfast!

Master food taster Dalton is feeling a little Asian himself!

That's  how I roll...

Completely unnecessary picture of my my oven temp.

ROFL... I haz clever.

EGGROLL SMAAASH!!!

If you didn't KNOW this was an omelet, it could almost pass for an egg foo young dish.

Looks like someone shot my omelet...



My Review:

Meh. It was OK. I'm not gonna' make a stink over it. It lacked the flavor, spice, and everything I was really looking forward to. This just didn't really hit the spot like I thought it would. Stoked I get to snack on the rest of the egg rolls though!
