Slim Jim Chili Becomes Cornerstone for this Special Cheesesteak Recipe
In the most extreme mashup of munchies possible, we’ve crammed all of the following into a single cheesesteak: SPAM and Slim Jim chili, steak, onions, PLUS Mac and Queso.
This ooey, gooey behemoth of a sandwich is certainly a sight to behold. It’s the culmination of Munch-E-Mania, a special episode of Foodbeast’s Twitch cooking competition, Kitchen League, where each of the three competitors made one component that inspired the entire recipe.
Competitor “Hulk Hoagie” (aka Josh Elkin) made a Philly Cheeseteak, the “Stoned Ranger” (aka BBBubbz) made a Frito Pie Chili Waffle Sandwich, and the “Hunger Taker” (aka TheHungerService) made a SPAM Mac and Cheese Monte Cristo.
Combine them all together, and the results are as gluttonous as they are delicious.
Below are all of the ingredients you need and the steps required to construct what we’ve dubbed the SPAM ’n Slim Jim Chili Mac ’n Cheesesteak.
