With how expensive things are these days, variations of this dish are still absolutely valid. Especially with how shelf stable all of the ingredients are. When you see them out on clearance cheaper than you've seen before, stock up and you'll have meals for months.

My great grandmother, made this with ground beef ( hate hot dogs 😝) . She lived to nearly 100 years old . I would visit after church, every weekend . She'd make this and we drank hot tea with condensed milk . I felt like a princess ! Haven't had condensed milk or this meal in decades . 😔

I grew up eating this dish and various variations. I am not that old but we didn't have a lot of money.

i'm from the Appalachian part of Kentucky and we eat this, its goulash. cept we don't normally put hot dogs in it, far as i know, its usually hamburger, maters, maybe a little onion, and noodles. beans are optional. this is what poor people survive on, its a staple! very filling, inexpensive meal and goes a long way too, if you've got many mouths to feed. here in Appalachia we also eat dandelions too, they're a weed but they taste pretty dang good battered up and fried. you can also make a tea or jelly out of the flowers, and you can saute the stalks before the plant flowers, too. we also eat poke too, some people make it into poke sallet (salad), you just have to cook the leaves before you eat it cuz its toxic otherwise. but yeah, poverty food is on a whole other level here in Appalachia. we always been poor

We called it goulash. Noodles tomatoes... Kineybeans, onions and carrots and potatoes if you were lucky.. sausage.. we also had hobo stew.. which was basically 1 lb of ground beef or canned beef with whatever you had. Mostly root vegetables. Im 40. And we ate these things growing up... Hot dogs were a fortunate circumstance.

I have survived for years on some varation of "meat veggies and starch in a tomato stew".

In Hawai'i I'd substitute the macaroni out for rice. I think I will try making it for the next mealtime!

My mom’s family was absolutely blessed in the depression. Her dad had a steady job, her grandparents had a farm, and she had shoes to wear every day if she wanted. The meals they had on sundays were huge, but they fed upwards of a dozen people. Lots of bread and pickles/veggies, very little meat.

I actually still eat this at home. It's always been a comfort meal for me.

These recipes will be valuable in our future when the economy collapses

Food is food. Weird how label things as poor food and shit.

I wonder if my great-grandmother ever ate this dish. She was a child during the Great depression and she lived until early this year, it would have been her 104th birthday last week. I wish I could have asked her. She was like my grandmother because her daughter, my grandma passed away when I was just a little baby in her early forties. Miss you greatest of gmas

[DeAnoJackson]

When I was a kid, I had a friend whose mother would make this for us, but she would have more fresh vegetables. It would be fresh sweet corn, peas, fresh tomato, onions or garlic, along with the beans, pasta, and either hot dogs or ground beef.

If chopped beef is added instead of hot dog it was usually called slumgullion!

[danielcarpentiero]

Yea but hot dogs cost 7 8 bucks pack so not so cheap anymore

My grandad used to make this, with some minor changes like ground beef instead of hot dogs. He called it goulash, and hed mix up corn meal with a bit of milk and (if the chickens were laying) an egg and drop them in some oil, fry up "hush puppies" that hed drop in the bowl as he served it.

Another staple of his was a head of cabbage boiled mostly soft, salt and pepper to taste, chop and mix in some smoked sausage. Bake a tin of corn bread, cut you a slice, drop it in the bowl, then ladle the cabbage and sausage in with enough juice to soak into the corn bread. A bit more salt and pepper to taste, and you could eat that stuff for days. Just be sure to separate the cabbage and the broth, because otherwise the cabbage gets soggy.
