Frankly, My Dear . . . : What’s on My Plate?
What’s on my plate this week? Well, y’all voted and results are 2-to-1 in favor of Andouille Jambalaya.
Just kidding! You already know what’s on my plate, because you voted for potato chip casserole!
Now, the original version is found in The Unemployment Cookbook, but as you can probably tell by the photo above, BEE The Zebra is not about to let Nippers have all the redoux fun.
Potato Chip Casserole: Five Ingredients
BEE likes to get crazy creative in the kitchen (say that five times fast!), and he also likes to add some sass to everything he touches. Of course he does, he’s a dazzling Zebra, after all.
So of course regular chips and regular meat wouldn’t do for his culinary contribution. Why, he practically leapt out of my bag at the store when he saw these on the shelves:
BEE spicy and sassy!
Hulloh! Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue chips and buffalo sauce chicken? It’s a match made south of the Mason-Dixon Line, yes? Oh, honey, I cannot begin to tell you the mouth watering that happened before we even started cooking.
What’s that? You want the full recipe? Say no more. BEE, if you please:
The Unemployment Cookbook: Potato Chip Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 bag (8 to 12 oz.) potato chips, crushed like little nuts under your hoof
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted. That means don't add anything to it.
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted. Nothing but 100% strength, here.
- 1/2 soup can full of moo juice. That's milk, remember?
- 1 can (10 to 12 oz.) tuna or chicken, drained.
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together like a herd in a stampede. Just not so vigorously it spills over.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

A few helpful tips for y’all:
- If you buy a smaller bag of chips, use a smaller can of meat and only one can of soup.
- BEE likes to get the combo soup- chicken and mushroom in one can. Hey, works for me!
- I mix in a larger bowl then transfer to a smaller baking dish.
- You can sprinkle with cheese or jalepenos. Or both!
The next recipe poll will post next week, so be sure to follow Molly Jo Realy on Facebook for your chance to vote!

Paige’s Plantation – How to be a Southern Belle in Ten Easy Steps
Have you always wanted to be a Southern Belle, but were raised in the foreign field beyond the Mason-Dixon line? Follow these fail-proof tips and you’ll soon convince anyone you were raised on Tara.
1. Use “y’all” like salt; sprinkle a little bit everywhere. We’ll be testing you according to your ability to use common Southern speech. Bless your heart.
2. Learn how to make good biscuit. Note that I DID NOT SAY BISCUITS. Biscuits –plural— are the nasty glob you find in cans at Wal-Mart. Biscuit —singular— are handmade goodness so delicious they’ll make you slap your mama. Apologies, Mama. The biscuit made me do it.
3. If the tea isn’t sweet, don’t drink it. Being offered unsweetened tea is an insult, because any true Southerner knows tea is just liquid sugar. Your best option is to be off like a herd of turtles.
Frankly, My Dear . . .: If it ain’t sweet, it ain’t tea!
4. If the occasion calls for an insult, sugar it down. Add a little “Bless your heart, Hun”, or an affectionate “deah” and grin like a mule eating briars. After all, Southern ladies hide their animosity beneath a thick layer of syrup.
5. The Gone with the Wind gown may not be necessary, but are you really going shopping in jeans and a T-shirt? Not unless you want them to think you’re not a lady, honey. You’ve got to shine. Break out the heels and the jewelry. Also, a true Southern lady knows to choose a handbag so big it makes her hips look small.
6. Citronella is your perfume of choice during the summer (and every other season down South). Also, this is the way to catch a good man. He’ll latch onto you once he realizes you’re a mosquito-free zone.
7. When you need to really impress, break out your mounted deer heads. A true Southern lady provides food for her household, you know. How else are we supposed to know you’re a decent human being and a good shot?
8. The bigger the hair, the better. And on Easter morning? Fluff it out like an 80’s glamor shot, hun. Otherwise everyone in church will look at you like you’re the three-legged dog in a horse race.
9. A true Southern lady is proud of her social skills. The best of us can carry on a conversation with a live possum and come away smiling. Of course, it helps if the possum is smiling too.
10. And, as always, remember to just be yourself. Only, of course, sweetened up with a little accent and a smile so big it’ll make the sun blush.
How do you stay Southern? Leave a comment.
