Recipes For Lean Times

Lean times have definitly hit my household, as well as yours, most likely. Laid off on the last day of the year, followed by a heart attack eleven days later, I spent nine days thinking about how am I going to take care of my family. Of course God, in His word, told me He'd take care of everything! In that, I was reminded that I've been cooking for a long time. What have I done in the past when things were lean? I MADE HOBO STEW! I'll explain all about Hobo Stew and where it comes from in future blogs, and give you great tasting, family pleasing recipes that I've made and tested with my family. ( That sounds cruel, I know. They trust me. That's pretty cool, huh?)
Just let me know if you want more.
In the fridge I found some left over corn. About one and half cups worth. Maybe two. Two hamburger patties that I chopped into small bits. {The patties were from the other night's barbeque.} About two and a half to three cups of mashed potatoes. Put it all in a micro- wavable casarole dish { bowl or what have you } and nuke {microwave, cook} for about a buck and a half. {1min. 30 sec.} Stir and serve.
