Feed a Crowd For Cheap With GLOP? | Hard Times Recipe

[@chinemelimiwegbu5093]

Hi Emmy, in some Nigerian households we fry some onions, garlic and the minced turkey or beef, canned tomatoes for 5mins, add boullion cubes, fresh peppers, the canned corn, and vegetables next . Simmer for a few mins. You can eat it with rice, yam or spaghetti.

This is tasty. We make this in South Africa. Definitely favourful

[@peterknutsen3070]

Yeah, I think it’d benefit from a carbohydrate, as well as added flavour from onions (probably fried?) and garlic.

Italian style canned zucchini is one of my absolute favorite things! Getting so hard ro find these days. Along with the canned red spiced apple rings! Yummo😋

[@cecilecavasos3587]

growing up my mom made something she called 'mexican meatloaf' though there is nothing mexican or meatloaf-y about it. a pound of ground beef, a tin of corn, a tin of diced tomatoes, and a tin of pork n beans, a packet of taco seasoning, some tony's, and spoon that all over a handful of fritos with sour creme and tabasco. it's like frito pie but leveled up. it was a struggle meal in the past but became a comfort dish that's quick to slap together and makes a ton of leftovers. my spouse and i still eat it today; in fact i had leftovers for lunch yesterday. and it tastes a lot better than it sounds, i promise :p

[@Trassel242]

One option for making anything with mincemeat (beef, pork, whatever is cheapest) is to use roughly 250g of meat and a 400g can of beans (or chickpeas or whatever, canned beans or legumes). You could use 125g of mincemeat to 1 can of beans too, but then it’ll really feel like you’re stretching the meat as far as it’ll go. You’ll also need a can of tomatoes, a couple stock cubes, salt and pepper and whatever other spices you’ve got. If you’ve got an onion and some garlic they’ll be good, too. Serve with potatoes, pasta, rice, whatever you have. This is a dish I grew up eating as a kid in Sweden.

[@brittfox9038]

Growing up we called this Mexican Chili. Didn't use "italian" style tomatoes just regular diced plus corn, some bean or the other and mom always added cumin, onion powder, and garlic.

[@thewoman2blame706]

My depression era grandmother made a stew like this and added taco seasoning. It was just called southwest taco stew. Ate it my entire childhood. ❤

[@franciegoins5632]

Our glop growing up was pork sausage and almost any fresh veggie you can get plus Lima beans and corn. Usually it had ocra, Zucchini, peppers and onions.

[@angelescastaneda8118]

This is like my mom's picadillo, (mixed veggies + ground meat + tomatoes) but she would put cubed potatoes in it too, and serve it with tortillas! With 7 kids we were a crowd! Oh and there was always a whole serrano pepper in there which made it a little spicy.

[@michaelwest9311]

Souper Burger; A very similar recipe that includes a can of vegetable soup and is served in a hamburger bun. My Aunt was the Queen of cheap cooking. I had this many times when I would visit them in the Summer as a kid. Pretty tasty stuff.

[@na195097]

I've never seen canned zucchini in stores, but as a child in the early'80s, we still home canned stuff. We had canned zucchini in tomato sauce, because zucchini produce ssooooooo much. But this recipe can't be that old since it uses ground turkey, which was more expensive than ground beef until recently.

[@foxfire7525]

This brings back lots of memories. My mom used to cook a lot and made something very similar (but with elbow macaroni included) and called it MUCK! I didn't care much for it as a kid but I'd give anything for a bowl of MUCK today.

[@OGPeanutbutter]

I can guarantee that tastes exactly how it looks.

[@emmymade]

I make a recipe called SLOP. It's white gravy with hamburger meat and mixed veggies served over toast, biscuits or potatoes

[@mendyvalenzuela3004]

We eat this a lot in the south. We just call it beef vegetable soup. Also, the brand Margaret Holmes sells canned squash, they may sell canned zucchini too

[@PotbellyPunch]

Ground beef, garlic, onions, and tomatoes + tomato paste plus beans is what I do

[@TheMRS.KKDrydale]

I make this almost every night for dinner… I usually add rice or pasta to it. Also I use bell peppers instead of mixed veggies.

[@alibiorn5123]

I found a recipe similar to this as a newly married, financially struggling person and we ate it often for years. Ours only had green beans and we served it over rice. I like the addition of corn. I might make this next time I meal plan

[@trublgrl]

Definitely taste your corn straight out of the can! You never really know what you are going to get. Sometimes it's sweet and delicious, sometimes it doesn't taste like anything at all. If it's bland, you can just add a pinch of sugar and salt and maybe some extra butter to help it out! Also, a pinch of cayenne in anything with corn usually is a good idea.

[@Praetor_Fenix420]

I have had that made with fusilli or rotini. It tastes great!

[@juanaursua]

That is so funny😂 how people put names to.what they cook. Ive been making that forever.. Budget friendly and delish..❤

[@kazumakoga3066]

[@DIFowner]

We would always mix in a couple raw eggs to stir in just before serving.

[@charlottesmail1056]

A friend called it "Cabinet Stew" which I thought was cute - because you look in your cabinet to see what you have

[@GeekaG]

This is my family’s hamburger soup without adding the extra water/broth to make it soupy.

[@BAMndza]

Add some elbow pasta and serve with sliced bread with butter. This was a regular kitchen staple in my house.

[@janw03258]

We used to make something similar with Hamburg, corn, and a big can of baked beans.

This is like taco soup. Beef, 1 can of beans, corn, diced tomatoes with taco seasoning bag. Serve with corn chips and toppings like sour cream, green onions, cilantro…easy!

[@Gabe54607]

I would definitely alter this recipe by adding an onion first and chopping up a zucchini. Looks great Emmy!

[@irishpsalteri]

My mom made something similar to these, but with sliced potatoes, called 'Providence Pudding' because someone named Providence gave her the recipe.

[@meowmeow1320]

Add a couple big cans of baked beans and you've got a nice, basic "chili" (non-Texan obviously).

It must be a Midwest thing but here in Ohio we have canned zucchini with tomatoes in the regular grocery store. Del Monte is my favorite. Also, the zucchini would probably make it more “glopy”. They get super soft!

[@debketelsen3742]

Canned zuchini is combined with tomaroes. It is usually labeled as stewed Italian tomatoes and zuchini I make my own instead of using the canned

[@hambeastdelicioso1600]

I'm 63 years old and I've never seen or heard of canned zucchini. Maybe it's a regional thing from a region I've never been to? If you covered a bowl of the glop with some mashed potatoes, I think it would make a nice shepherd's pie.

[@ajaguar27]

I imagine if you'd used zucchini it would have achieved more of a gloppy texture, since cooked zucchini can get mushy and sometimes even have some of that... stickiness?... that's associated with okra.

[@mmahtnart8986]

That looks like picadillo , I use zucchini, diced potatoes , the corn , the tomatoes ,and some onion no mixed vegetables try using Pato tomatoe sauce that's real good

Next time, reserve some of the liquid you drained from the canned vegetables. Then if you need to add more liquid use the drained canned vegetable liquid instead. That will add more nutrients and more flavor than using water.

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

Yes, it's more realistic to have recipes like this to cook up something quickly and easily. I don't consider it "hard times" food, since it tastes pretty good. Hard times would be like those old Depression era photos of kids in raggedy clothes, with their Christmas meal being turnips, maybe with some shot squirrel or a calf's heart. With that, you really have to apply some technique to get that to be appetizing, which is less daunting today as spices are cheaper and readily available.

My mum always kept a big butter container in the freezer and any time we had leftovers that weren't enough for another meal, she would dump it in the container. It was mostly vegetables, but she would also put macaroni, rice, or just about anything else that could be used in soup. Once the container was full, she would dump it in a big pot, add some canned tomatoes and browned ground beef and let it simmer for hours. The end result was an incredibly delicious soup that was just a little different every time she made it. She would make a big pan of cornbread and we would happily eat soup and cornbread for several days.

My aunt fancied herself a gourmet, and she would get so mad at my grandmother for calling a dish glop that she usually refused to eat it.
