My mother had a recipe from her mother (upstate SC) that was essentially oven "cheeseburgers." I don't recall if they were seared/browned first, but multiple small beef burgers cooked in a mustardy-beer cheese style sauce and served on yeast rolls.

My mom’s “special occasion” spaghetti and meatballs, which meant she actually made meatballs and didn’t just brown ground beef and throw in a jar of Prego. But her meatballs were porcupine meatballs (with rice) and her sauce was canned whole tomatoes broken up by hand (my job after a thorough handwashing) with apple cider vinegar, sugar, and bay leaves.

When my father could not catch gasper goo, my mother made a courtboullion out of canned salmon. It was actually pretty damned good.

Tuna Burger
Hamburger bun filled with white tuna from a can, shredded cheddar cheese mixture with a little bit of mayo as a binder. Place in tin foil and bake in the oven to toast the bun very well.

Cauliflower soup. Didnt even put chicken broth in it.
Basically Cauliflower boiled in water served over noodles.
We use to eat the out of it. I still crave it to this day from time to time.
Put that shake cheese on it and call it a day.
Lentils spaghetti.
Cook lentils down until they get finished, maybe saushge if you got it.
Then serve it over spaghetti.
Use to eat the out of that too. Still crave it.
Puthat shake cheese on that all day too.
Pickled Cauliflower
Still like that too this day.

What kind of noodles? I'm confused here why you would eat just a boiled vegetable over noodles?
Ive had boiled cauliflower by itself plenty, usually with cheese but not always.

Just regular Spaghetti noodles.
I mean the Japanese resturants put mushroom broth in a bowl and noodles for an appatizer.
No one bats an eey.

We used to go to my grandparent's house like every other Sunday after church for lunch. I dreaded my grandmother's mac and cheese because she used sugar in her recipe. Just not a good combination. Nobody ever had the heart to tell her it tasted like shite because she kept using that recipe until the day she died.

I’m 64, I remember it being made both ways. The original, as I remember it, was with mayo. Seems like cottage cheese replaced it over time.

I think it's noodles, in "broth", with cauliflower.
Not noodles, with boiled cauliflower on top.
That said, I'm shooting in the dark, cuz wtf?

After going down Da Bayou to visit family, our last stop with at my Mom’s parents. We kids would walk through the door, my grandfather would say, “Those Kids look hungry!”
My grandmother would, take a big spoon of Hog Lard, heat it up in a skillet. She would have Veal Cutlets that had been run through a tenderizer. Seasoned cutlets, she would cook them down. Once finished, she would take cooked rice, dump it in the pot,the rice soaking up the gravy.

It was, I’ve made it before for my Children, years ago. But I used Olive oil instead of Lard.

My grandmother used Velveeta Cheese. She’d make a big pan of it, wish I knew how she made it.

My Aunt made me a PB & J sandwich one time. It had the best jelly I had ever tasted. They lived on Da Bayou in S. La. They had a big garden every year. Grew the best vegetables. Root crops were the best, due to the soil being so sandy. Carrots, Beets, Turnips, Potatoes. They had a potato bin in their barn.
Thinking it was made from fresh Strawberries, the jelly, I asked. She told me, she had used Jello for the strawberries. I need to google an see if I can find a recipe.

Was it jelly or Jam? If it were Jam, it might have been mock strawberry fig jam that uses fresh figs and strawberry Jell-O.

That’s it, now I remember the Fig part!
Thanks, I owe you a meal and drinks!
