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.

I never heard of corn in it before, lol. But I'm no expert.
Really? Maybe it's a new England version? I Ate it that way the last 43 years and my mom and grandparents before me.
How do you make it?
Well, I've only made it a couple of times and that was years ago. One time I used beef and another ground lamb. Mashed potatoes, but no corn or ketchup. Plainer than yours, I'd say. I might try making it again later this fall or winter.
I would try it my way. So good. I craved it through my whole pregnancy. Sticks to the ribs in winter.
I do not whip the potatoes. Mash them dense with butter cream salt and cheese of your choice. I like the 6 cheese Italian or pamesan.
Yes, I can see where it would stick to the ribs! Very hearty sounding. I would only be able to eat it at dinnertime because the carbs would make me sleepy, lol. But that would be perfect because it would make for a nice way to doze off a few hours later. I will try it your way. I love corn, both the whole kernel and the creamed, though others in the family definitely do not. So I will try it once for me. Thanks.
I've never been able to bring myself to eat lamb or mutton. The smell gets me or maybe my mom just didn't know how to cook it so I never learned.
Yeah, it is an acquired taste. I liked it better when I was a little kid, not that I ate it frequently. Now I'd use ground lamb if I did, but I'd find it a bit gamey.
