Jailhouse Ramen Pizza
Submitted By: Brett
Submitted From: Houston, TX, USA
- 3-4 – Ramen soups (spicy or beef)
- 1 – Squeeze Cheese
- 1 – Can Chilli no beans
- 1 – Summer Sausage
- Couple handfulls of cornchips
- Couple jalapenos
Note: I am always a sucker for recipes from jail. Also, they let you have hot pots in jail? Sounds more like college to me.
Open all noodles and place inside some type plastic bag (lg. corn chip bag works great). Add cornchips and crush mix thouroughly (don’t leave any large chunks), then add the seasoning packs. Then bring some water to boil in your hotpot. While your water heats up go ahead and slice up your jalapenos and summer sausage. Once the water is hot enough, pour into your bag with the noodle/chip/seasoning mix. Important: add just enough water to come up just below top of mix (don’t drown them).Refill pot and heat can of chilli in it. Knead and work the bag with noodles in it around mixing thouroughly. Once this is done lay bag out and flatten down evenly, making dough/crust. If you’ve done this correctly there shouldn’t be alot of water running out if there is add more crushed chips and mix untill thickens. Fold end of bag, secure with paper clip, and wrap with towel to insulate and let “cook” for about 10 mins. Once done cut bag down middle and bottom and spread open. Noodles should remain in rectangular shape and be stuck together (like dough). Pour your chilli over top and spread evenly (if too runny add a few crushed corn chips to thicken mix. Then comes a layer of squeeze cheese, topped with summer sausage and jalapenos. Slice evenly and enjoy with your cell mates. Yum.

uhh yea you can have pots in jail, well more like hot plates. how did you think they could eat their ramen if they didnt have pots? ramen noodles is a staple food for all people in the US prison system. they survive on eating ramen noodles

I know this recipe! My stepdad was in jail last year. It’s called “Jailhouse Burritos”! Nice! They aren’t very yummy to look at. But they taste pretty darn awesome!

I was in jail once and we did not cook the Ramen in a pot, we microwaved them in a cup. I didn’t have the luxury of all the ingredients mentioned in the recipe, so what I did was mash up a bunch of Cheeto’s and made cheese Ramen……..delicious!

I am a correctional officer in the county in which I live. This is one of the favorite meals the inmates here. Our guys add cheetos though. Ive always wanted to try it but I would never tell them that.

In jail this is commonly referred to as “spread”. When I was in jail I worked in the kitchen so we made some amazing spreads. We would put all inds of leftovers in it, from bologne to chicken to beans and rice. Everydody makes it different, and everybody thought theirs was the best. I still eat it and I have been out of jail for a while now.

IVE GOT ANOTHER KICK ASS RECIPE FOR YOU: TAKE TWO CHICKEN SOUPS CRUSH THEM IN THIER OWN BAG ADD SEASONING PACKETS HOLD TOP AND SHAKE THEM UP; MEANWHILE WHILE YOUR HOTPOT IS HEATING UP, CUT UP TWO JALAPENOS VERY FINE, JUST USE THE BLADE OUT OF AN UNUSED RAZOR. YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO BUY SOME DRIED BEANS, A POUCH OF TUNA AND TORTILLAS FROM THE COMMISARRY. WHEN YOUR WATER IS GOOD AND BOILING IN YOUR CONTRABAND HOTPOT, TAKE YOUR SOUPS AND PLACE THEM IN THE BOWL ,SPRINKLE THE DRIED BEANS OVER THE TOP THEN PUT IN YOUR PEPPERS AND DRAINED TUNA. POUR JUST ENOUGH WATER TO COVER THE TOP OF THE NOODLES AND STIR.COVER AND LET THE SOUPS SWELL UP STIR AND COVER AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES TAKE THE TORTILLAS LEAVE THEM IN THE BAG AND PUT THEM IN THE REMAINING WATER IN THE HOTPOT, ONCE THEY GET WARM GET THEM OUT AND MAKE SOME OF THE BEST DAMN SEAFOOD TACOS YOUVE EVER HAD. ENJOY

the jail in my county don’t give you hot plates. they give you hot water from the sink and a ramen pack. plus the pack costs like a dollar. i’ve never seen anything sadder in my life. abyways this sounds like a great recipe for a person who’s never seen a jail cell before. JAIL PIZZA AND JAPANESE SAMURAI MOVIES!!! YAY!!!

I am in jail in Ozaukee County (Wisconsin) and we have to use the shower water for our Ramen (it is the kind in a cup with vegetables) and instant coffee. We make jailhouse burritos with crushed ramen, crushed nacho tostados, jalepeno cheese squeeze, crushed “cheetos”, and beef sticks. Like someone says, they are not attractive, but they taste awesome compared to most of the jail meals!
I’ve got to say, I’ve never put hot sauce on so much before coming to jail…cheetos, cheese popcorn, mashed potatoes, tater-tot casserole, etc…

look where i was at in the luoisville jail…we didnt have hardly any of that shit. you get some ramen. crunch the hell out of the noodles. put em in a chip bag, add ur spice pack and shake it up.then crunch in chips of ur choice and shake well again. you get a styrofoam cup full of hot water and just under a full cup was about right. then u pour in water and rubber band up til the noodles “blow up”.hence the name, blow up in our correctional facilities. sometimes u add the bologna from your zaebo’s which is the sandwich/cookie lunch we sometimes get. i still eat it even though im on the street now.

DAMN……I’VE BEEN LOCK UP IN COUNTY A FEW TIMES (MAYBE TO MANY TIMES) BUT SHIT I HATE TOP RAMON AND RICE BECAUSE OF THAT. GET A HOOK UP IN THE KITCHEN TO GET SOME REAL DAMN FOOD. ONCE YOU DO ,YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO TO CHOW AND EAT THERE SHIT!!!

the peckerwood pies are the best, but if you’re locked up in orange county, extra mayonnaise, refried frijoles, macaroni salad(sack lunches), a dab of kool aid, jalapeno pretzel pieces, and MANDATORY CRACKLINS(pork rinds) are the ingredients left out to make a bomby ass vagina spread

i did a few years in tx state, we used to make all kinds of casseroles, pies, chili macs, burritos & snack mixes out of our “smack” ramen. they were really good, but the kitchen food sucked so bad of course ramen was delicious!
my favorite was tuna casserole; tuna, chicken ramen, crushed tortilla chips, jalopeno squeeze cheese, “mayo”, diced pickle & jalopeno.mix it all up in a big ol bowl. crush more chips & sprinkle over the top.
we didnt have hot pots, just a single faucet that had HOT water. we also made “cheesecakes” out of powder milk & strawberry soda or sprite, with a graham cracker crust or generic oreo. it was pretty good stuff. our “spreads” (they were called that there too) were pretty elaborate. usaully six or seven different dishes and a few pies. makes ya fat!! but it wasnt so bad definitely helped to pass the time.

My boyfriend is in Prison in Caldwell, OH. I just went to visit him and he calls them breaks. they don’t get hotpots, they use a microwave for everything. They take a tortilla, lay it out, then they cook up some macaroni noodles until they’re super soggy. Leave a little water in the noodles and add crushed crackers. Make that into a paste and flatten it over the tortilla. Cook that as the crust. Then they add some pizza sauce, some cheese, and they cut up some pepperoni with their ID badges and it’s pizza. They also make energy drinks, coffee, koolaid, and pop mixed together. He said even when he gets out, he’ll eat jailhouse pizza and drink the energy drinks. He’d take that pizza over Pizza Hut anyday. I can’t wait for him to make it for me when he gets home!
