Haluski - Cabbage And Noodles - Great Depression Cooking - $1 Meal - Poor Man's Meal

Join this channel for more Great Depression Era Recipes:
/ @grandmaferal
My mother grew up during the Great Depression and this is one of the recipes that her family used to eat and she continued to make for me when I grew up. My grandmother used to make homemade noodles and my mother would often make homemade noodles also. I'm using store bought egg noodles for convenience. It's a very cheap meal and serves 4 people for less than $5.00

My grandma was from Poland and ended up in Pa. She taught me to always keep your bacon grease. 1 Tbs added to Haluski was her secret ingredient and it was delicious. You can also add bacon grease to your green bean, eggs (scrambled or fried), fried apples or really just about anything to take food to a different level. Grandma said during depression nothing went to waste.

[@GrandmaFeral]

So true! We don't eat bacon so that is why I don't use the grease but alot of people do. Thank you for sharing how your Grandma made the meal👩

How long is it safe to use stored bacon grease?

[@karmashim3971]

@@willwalker6894 Officially, I'm not sure what is recommended for how long to store bacon grease. I can tell you that unstrained bacon grease, I keep in fridge no more than 3 to 4 months, always checking for it becoming rancid. I do strain using sieve and coffee filter periodically, keeping no longer than 6 months in fridge; though most of the time I end up using it all up before then. Hope that helps.

Such different times but so she taught me so much about living an honest life and how to cook and bake and knit & sew... I have a feeling those skills might come in very handy soon!

So true. I heard all the stories from my Mom and her sisters about the depression.

frugalaudio Most definitely! There is a calming effect when onions and butter/bacon fat are sauteed together, or fresh minced garlic with fresh minced parsley. If you want to make your house smell like a home cook in this manner. Your children will be imprinted with the memory ( subconsciously ) and perpetuate the tradition into the future. Also, bake homemade yeast breads/rolls to go along with these aromas - they will never stray far.

As a vegetarian, I find this an interesting, inexpensive meal -- and no wonder it made me think of what my late mother (born in 1930) might have eaten growing up, as her stepmother was Polish (and I recognized the word _haluski_ as Polish as well); in fact, that was also an Italian/Polish household, so I'd bet much that _haluski_ was a staple on that dinner table, what with seven kids to feed. (I wish I could ask my mother about it, but she's probably cooking for Dad and her siblings in Heaven as I type this; I do remember her preparing her stepmother's stuffed-cabbage recipe at times when I was a kid, as well as pulling out all the stops to bake _chrusciki_ every year at Christmastime.) Thank you, dear Grandma Feral, for sharing this delightful recipe and a bit of family history as well; FWIW, my mother would also have admired your Zoa Langford-original designer apron (though most often she dispensed with one in the kitchen and just took her chances with an ancient housedress).

grew up eating this food from my Slovak and Hungarian family; and it was actually my favorite, never knew it was considered a depression meal. Makes me have even more respect for my culture and family recipes passed down through generations.

Ha ha ha " depression meal " I grow up eating halusky in 70es in Czechoslovakia ,they are different variations and one with cabbage is only one of them. You can serve them with hungarian chicken paprikas / chicken stew or with cottage cheese and bacon ,which is traditional Slovak version called " Brindzove halusky " Bon apetit !

[@moxiefox5021]

It is delicious. My grandmother made this often. However, now as a more health conscientious 50 something adult I’d have to cut that one stick of butter down a lot and maybe omit a bunch of the noodles. Also, since there’s no protein it’s hard to call this a meal replacement....however it does make a great filler side for sure!

[@GrandmaFeral]

Years ago Crisco was used a lot not anymore. Thanks for watching👩

[@mchrysogelos7623]

yes, my mom too, always had the Crisco. I think there were a lot of unhealthy shortcuts picked up during the early-mid 1900's (e.g. teflon, plastics, processed foods), so sad. Overall most people ate and WERE fairly healthy, but unfortunately, it has caught up with society now.

[@camp0017]

Actually, in Poland we call it "lazanki" (and often add some bacon to the cabbage). Haluski is the Slovak name. Slovaks also have a version of this dish with farmer's sheep cheese (bryndzove haluski).

[@GrandmaFeral]

The bacon added to the cabbage must make it more flavorful👩

[@Telcomvic]

That's very interesting. My grandma was born in Poland and came to the US at about age 6 in 1910. She always called it haluski. There were many Eastern European nationalities in our small town: Polish, Slovak, Slovenian, Lithuanian, etc. She may have picked up the name from one of her friends. She always made it with kielbasa or Polish sausage.

My grandmother made this but did not cost her 5$---she raised the cabbage and onions, had a cow for milk and churned butter. Cabbage stayed all winter stored in the root cellar with straw around each head onions lasted all winter also. They could not afford that 5$ per meal. Thanks for the recipe and a wonderful reminder will be tomorrows dinner with some smoked sausage and warm applesauce on the side.

My mother would make this (she was 10 years old when the Great Depression hit) and would take a single, foot-long link of Kielbasa or whatever sausage we had, and add it it, sliced into super thin discs about 1/8 of an inch so that it seemed like a lot more than was really there. The flavor was outstanding, I always was happy when she made it. I think I need to make some soon!
