Poorman’s Meal
While browsing around the web the other day I came across this great video on youtube.com. There's a series of them called "Great Depression Cooking" with Clara as the cook. Clara is 91 years old and teaches us how her family survived the great depression by cooking really cheap meals. Right away Alex wanted to try the poorman's meal shown on this video
Clara isn't exact with her ingredients so this is what I put together for me and Alex on Saturday night.
Clara's Poorman's Meal
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 large onion, chopped
3 large hotdogs, cut lengthways then sliced
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Fry potatoes and onions in a large pan on a fairly low heat until soft and beginning to brown (this can take quite a while), stirring frequently to stop sticking. Once the potatoes are soft add salt and pepper to taste, turn up the heat and continue cooking until golden brown. Add the sliced hotdogs and heat through for a few minutes. Serve steaming hot with a side salad.
It was really tasty which surprised me no end. Alex had his with ketchup but I had mine plain. It's not the healthiest of meals but very cheap to make (about $4 for the two of us) and serving it with a salad adds a healthy touch.

In a skillet brown ground beef and diced onion until brown and drain off excess fat. Add tomato sauce and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes then set aside. Follow directions on Bisquick Box as if you were making dumplings. Spread this mixture onto the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan. Pour beef, onion, tomato sauce mixture over raw dough mixture cover pan with aluminum foil and place in an oven at the temperature of 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes to allow crust to bake.
