My dad made scrambled eggs with onions, potatoes and green onions. Called them everydays, because when your Momma's gone we gonna eat this everyday!

Dad would either make Vienna Sausage sandwiches swimming in mayo or pan fried Spam sandwiches swimming in grease. Tasted pretty good to me at the time but either way they were tantamount to a 99 cent heart attack.

Beanie Weenies. Showboat canned beans with cut up hot dogs. There may have been a half stick of butter in there too.

One of my Grandad's favorites from his WWII days as well. The sailors on the USS Dixie called it "shite on a Shingle".
I love it though. I just brown some ground round, a little flour to coat the meat, then milk. Salt and a whole lot of black pepper. My kids dont care for it and it makes me sad they dont love it

The real redneck thing my dad was guilty of was always over cooking all meats on the grill. He came from the ignorant mindset, that the red stuff was blood and you could never ever see that even pink color on meat.
Look man my FIL does this every time but it's mostly because he's hammered and forgets about it

Dad was not a good cook, but, bless his heart, he tried.
I remember:
Tuna noodle casserole - egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, tuna, topped with slices of american cheese. Accompanied by canned english peas and pearl onions.
"Fried" chicken - boneless, skinless chicken breasts breaded and pan fried in the absolute minimum amount of oil (he may have even just used Pam). Topped with white gravy from a package and accompanied by instant mashed potatoes.
Chicken stir fry - he had no knife skills so chopping up all the vegetables would take 30 minutes. Then he would overload his electric wok, so the cooking would take another 30 minutes. Longest cooking stir fry in history. Served over Minute Rice.
I miss him every day.

Dad loves making homemade jams, and I was addicted to toast with dad’s jam on it when I was growing up.
When I was really young, I didn’t like hotdogs. But I loved “Daddy dogs”, which was just a hot dog made by dad.
Dad taught me the art of making a badass sandwich. To this day, if someone asks for a sandwich, I make them that way. Either toasted in the toaster oven, or pressed on the Foreman.. with any topping I can find. Rotisserie chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, Italian dressing, oregano..
As a kid, this was eye opening to me because I had only ever had a cold cut sandwich or a grilled cheese.
On the flip side, we only ever had tacos when dad was out of town. He thought they were snack food and shouldn’t be eaten as dinner.
Like others mentioned, everything was well done. I thought I hated steak until I was 21 years old and Jones took me to Ruth’s. Mind blowing discovering that. Thought I hated pork chops too. Turns out, thick cut pork chops exist and they’re not too bad.

My dad used blend up hotdogs and olives, spread them on hotdog buns, then toast them in the oven . They were salty as hell, but they were good.
