	Back in the bachelor days of my 20s, I used to make a dish called Tim Surprise. It was rice, spaghetti, or egg noodles stirred in a pot with random cans of stuff. This recipe from Ree Drummond was very reminiscent of that dish, although elevated just a skosh. It's so easy to make, it's not really cooking. The stuff that happens in Step 1, though, actually reminded me of Tex-Mex, which was intriguing, and almost blew our sinuses off. Otherwise, this wasn't much to write home about. I substituted cheddar since there was no jack, and was a little short on tomato sauce, so I just added water. I'd try this again when feeling lazy, but otherwise, not a big fan.
