Garbage Plates

One day my friend Mark asked me whether I would be willing to make this dish called a garbage plate. I agreed because anything by the name of garbage plate should be good. The garbage plate is indigenous to Rochester, New York, where it was first invented. It consists of home fries or french fries, potato salad or baked beans, a meat of choice, chili, mustard and onion. It will literally sober you up if you eat it when you have one too many drinks. The way we made the garbage plate was unorthodox to say the least. We used french fries, baked beans, Hamburgers, ground beef in BBQ sauce, and macaroni and cheese. The french fries were seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. The hamburgers were cooked on medium to medium-high heat with a little oil. I cooked them 5 minutes per side. If you like it more well done, cook it longer. It was wicked delicious. It was a perfect St Patrick's Day meal because it sobers you up and gets you ready for even more partying. The combinations you can make are endless. You can have hot dogs, or fried chicken instead of a hamburger. Garbage plates are really  about what you want to eat. Make your own garbage plate and enjoy the deliciousness.
