Diaper Dump Porridge^

Recipe By : Gross Grub, Cheryl Porter
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Halloween

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 can (10 oz) beef broth
1 Tube refrigerated biscuits
1 can (10 oz) chicken broth
—–TOOLS—–
2 small Saucepans
Knife
Slotted spoon
Soup ladle
4 Soup bowls

Pour the beef froth into a saucepan. Set aside and don’t add any water.

Remove the biscuits from the tube, seperate them and carefully cut each
one in half. Then, using clean hands, sculpt the biscuit pieces into
“dump” shapes.

Add the dumps to the beef broth. With an adult’s help, place the dumps and
broth over medium heat and cook until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn the
heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Carefully
check the broth level often.

Pour the chicken broth (diaper fluid) and one can water into the second
saucepan. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked dumps from the
beef broth and place in the chicken broth pan. Heat chicken broth according to
the directions on the can.

Sicko serving suggestion: When you’re done eating, place a container of baby
wipes on the table for guests to clean up with!
