Here are two more "Mom" recipes made to stretch a dollar:

From Rose H:

Her Mom's version of Hamburger Helper:

Slum Gullion
Brown a pound of ground meat
Stir in a few spoonfuls of flour to the meat
Add a can of peas juice and all
Add can milk to the pea juices to make a creamed sauce
I season with onion powder and seasoned salt
Simmer to blend the flavors and cook the flour
Serve with mashed potatoes.

My husband recalls something his mother made with spam. We can't find a written recipe in her recipes. He recalls she sliced it, put it flat in a pan and added brown sugar, dry mustard and condensed milk enough to cover the meat and baked it until it was bubbly and golden. Anyone have something similar maybe with more specifics? Thank you.
