Toast pancakes:
Place bread in toaster.
Remove bread from toaster.
Butter bread.
Put syrup on it.
My mom had to work and had four of us within 4 and a half years of each other. She did what she had to do!

Hamburger Hotdog Bake.
An Iowa friend of the family came up with this one.
A rough re-creation:
Egg dipped bread on the bottom of a casserole dish.
Split hot dogs on top.
Hamburger mix on top. Involved onions and possibly tomato sauce.
American cheese on top of that.
Egg dipped bread on top.
Cook in oven until done.
Pretty damn good as a kid.

My mom used to make this dish that was Hormel breakfast sausage links in a brown gravy with canned sauerkraut, served over mashed potatoes. Decades later I still get a craving every now and then and have made it a few times. Just very different from everything else my mom made, and the only dish ever involving sauerkraut. Kind of strange but a distinct taste, so I guess that explains the occasional craving.

My mother used to make those awful Lime Jello salads back in the late 70's

Doesn't necessarily meet the category but:
S**t on a shingle. Still make it as an adult.
Also, fried bologna sandwich. Always cut an X in the middle and notch the sides to flatten while cooking.

My grandmother used Velveeta Cheese. She’d make a big pan of it, wish I knew how she made it.
My mom made mac and cheese with Velveeta. I loved it then and still do. She used Velveeta in her squash casserole and in her eggplant casserole. It was also the standard for fried bologna and cheese sandwiches. All of these things I still love. I don't eat fried bologna much any more, but it sure is good when I do. I use Lebanon bologna if I can find it (which tastes more like summer sausage).

My wife still makes that on occasion, except she serves the chipped beef and gravy on biscuits. A couple of biscuits covered in the chipped beef gravy and then a desert biscuit with honey or fig preserves and you are set.

Snack after school:
Couple of scoops of peanut butter, stir in Steens cane syrup until creamy, then crush saltines between hands and stir it up.

Takes me back to church dinner. ALWAYS a pear salad on the table.

Yup! Bread (store bought, we called it light bread or loaf-a-bread) stretched the meal out and was ever present on the table. I know older folks who refuse to eat a meal without buttered (oleo'd) bread.

Cheetos (crunchy and chocolate milk. Momma always ate them together. Don't mix them, just drink it while eating. Sounds weird. Try it and you'll throw rocks at Cheetos if you don't have chocolate milk.
Other than that, not really strange, but we ate macaroni and tomatoes a lot. Cook the noodles, toss in hot bacon grease and add salt, pepper, and canned tomatoes. I still make it today.
Add some ground beef and paprika and call it goulash.

Friend came from a working-class family with lots of kids, so mom was always stretching a dollar. Friend gets married. New husband comes home one day early in the marriage to fresh-made jambalaya. Takes a bite and is like, WTF is this?
Wife had made it with hot dogs, as that was the only way she'd ever seen it...

Canned salmon mixerd with smothered down diced onion, then a raw egg mixed in with that, form into a patty and then both sides pressed into a pile of crumbled up corn flakes, then fry in a CI skillet with a tad of bacon grease. I hated it.
Fried tripe. Just thinking about this one still makes me want to upchuck.
As bad as those two "dishes" were, my mom made the best chicken n dumplins and cornbread dressing I've ever tasted.
Miss you mom (and your CnD and CB dressing)

Not weird to us, because my mother was from Naples, but it is to most non-Italians and 3+ generation Italian-Americans I know, pasta e patate, which is pasta with potatoes. I still eat it during the winter months. My Irish wife thinks its gross.
