If you are like most of America, groceries are hard to come by right now. Store shelves are pretty empty and items are limited. People who lived through the Great Depression know what it is like. People learned to make meals that required pantry items and frugal items and I am sharing some of them with you today. They are tasty and may help you come up with some ideas for you and your family during these troubling times.
Great Depression Era Meals
1. Southern Ham & Beans. This isn't just a great southern recipe, but one you can make and enjoy anytime. I love serving this with Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread. So good!
2. Homemade Biscuits And Chocolate Gravy. We love to eat this not only for breakfast but for supper too.
3. Old Fashioned Creamed Tuna On Toast. It may sound gross but it is pretty good. Very similar to chipped beef on toast or S.O.S. It is a cheap meal that tastes good too.
4. Breakfast Rice. This is a breakfast meal but it is oddly satisfying and delicious. Just a few simple ingredients but darn, it is good!
5. Stew! No matter how you make stew, it is a great meal that goes a long way! We get 3-4 meals out of one pot of stew so it is a natural choice to make during hard times.
6. Potato soup. It is another filling meal and you can just use the water you boiled the potatoes in if you are out of milk, or add in a bit of milk or a can of evaporated milk to make it more economical.
7. Goulash. It's a meal that doesn't take a lot of ingredients and most of you probably already have on hand, so mix it up and enjoy it for supper tonight!
