Great Depression Cooking With Clara

Hi there Everyone! 
Sorry I've been away for so long, but the family, house, business, pets and house want attention every single day.  I know, so rude! 

Anyway,  I wanted to share a wonderful YouTube channel that I found.  She is a 90+ grandmother who was born in 1915 and remembers the foods that she ate during that very difficult time.  It is so wonderful to see her cook a meal while reminiscing about the days of her youth. 

I particularly liked this dish called "Poor Man's Meal".  I've already made it a couple times for the guys and it's good!  Even better when you fry the potatoes in bacon grease.

Try it, you might like it!

3 large potatoes (or enough for your family )  diced small
1 medium onion diced small
cooking oil  (Clara used olive oil, but any kind will work)
hot dogs or sausage
Salt and Pepper to taste

Fry the onions and potatoes in the oil until potatoes are tender
Add  in diced or sliced hotdogs or sausage  (we used smoked sausage, but Clara used the hotdogs)
Add salt and pepper
Heat through adding a bit of water to keep potatoes from sticking.

Enjoy! 

What I love the most is that even with using the smoked sausage it costs about $3 to prepare.  We had the luxury to add a veggie on the side, where Clara's family did not. 

A meal that's fast, easy and cheap.  Perfect for this gal!

Until next time friends!
