My family was poor, but my mom always had a hot meal for dinner, anything from fried bologna and eggs, spam and eggs, meatloaf, greenbeans and mashed taters, and on Fridays it was always bread pudding made from the leftover bread from the past week. Please list your cheap but delicious meals your mom served you. As the economy falters many of us will be serving those tasty meals of the past.

Goulash, light on meat, heavy on salad and garlic bread.
Our rendition of Goulash was a pound of ground beef, home made egg noodles, tomatoes canned from our garden with parsley, and green beans, bread and butter, and kool-aid, wasn't bad for a family of 6
We did the same recipe with a family of 10. Delicious!
Goulash with elbow macaroni, a little hamburger, canned tomatoes from the store and maybe parmesan cheese? No extras like sald or garlic bread...
That soynds just like our goulash. Mom made a 'wedge' salad where she cut a head of lettuce into wedges then squirted a bit of salad dressing on top. The garlic bread was a plate of wonder bread and butter. No garlic actually. We liked it!
