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.

Do you mean fruit cobbler or some other type? I have only made fruit cobbler once, but I have heard you can make vegetable and meat cobblers, though I haven't.
Lol. Maybe it was just vegetables then. I was thinking if meat was in it it would be like one of those biscuit casseroles or a pot pie.
I make what I call sausage casserole. Sausage (from our farm raised hogs) brown rice, onions, peppers, celery, peas, carrots, green beans and a little bullion. My kids like that with cheese on top. I quit buying most meats from stores and we are going to fill the freezer with venison, pork, fish, and wild turkey and hope to get some other small game birds. My garden gave some great produce this year (first year) and I put in strawberries, blueberries and raspberries
Yeah, I was thinking of that at first but that's not so much with a crust, it's potatoes, I think. But similar in the sense it would be filling and comforting.
