Marketing is a fascinating thing to me because of the power it has to make you believe something in a manner that’s not entirely true. Take for instance the recent rise in products that claim to be “all natural” and “made from real sugar” like this is a good thing. I’m not here to debate HFCS vs. cane sugar, however, sugar is sugar and should be approached with caution. At the end of the day, Sierra Mist (Real Sugar!!) and Sprite (HFCS) are still soda and neither are what I would consider health food. 

The most important thing that I’ve learned while trying to figure out this vast world of what to eat/what to avoid, is that you have to read the labels. 

This, my friends, is my non-advice for recreating the KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl at home, with little effort and even less nutritional value. I do not actually recommend eating this.

What you need:

Prepacked Mashed Potatoes

Microwave Popcorn Chicken

Bacon Bits

Shredded Cheese

What you do:

Open the mashed potatoes container, cram the rest of the ingredients into the container and microwave, stirring a few times until evenly heated. There may not be enough room, but that’s just part of the challenge!

Consume with much regret while watching TV and sobbing.
