I've really enjoyed these stories! More! More! I tried a recipe from cooks.com just called soul food:
DEPRESSION DAY - SOUL FOOD
--------------------------

1/4 lb. fried hamburger
1/4 lb. fried bacon
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1 (15 oz.) can pork & beans
1 (15 oz.) can dark kidney beans
1 (15 oz.) can butter (or lima) beans
1 (15 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
1/2 c. catsup
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vinegar

Brown bacon and onion. Add hamburger. Drain ALL canned
goods. Add all remaining ingredients together with beef and
onions in baking dish. Mix well. Bake uncovered at 300
degrees for 1 1/2 hours or in a crock pot at low setting 6
hours. (10 x 10 inch square pan.)

I made it in the crockpot & I did not drain the tomatoes or the porknbeans. I also reduced the sugar from 1 cup to 3/4 cup. I think it would be fine with just 1/2 cup for the doubled recipe. It was really good. I doubled it & it made a ton, which is good. I will try freezing some of the leftovers to see if it freezes well. It should. I just made cornbread to go with it. I think it cost about $10 or less to make & we have eaten about 6 servings & still have 8 cups leftover. I guess that is about 6 more servings so about 84 cents per serving. Mmmm.
