This cookbook ought to be given to every high school senior and every person who is food insecure.

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

When my husband died and left me with young kids. A Mennonite friend of mine gave me that book! It helped keep a roof over our heads and decent food on the table. I still have it and use it for several recipes Viet Nam fried rice and my son's favorite chocolate pudding where you stir in the butter to make it creamy. More memories :)

[@HomesteadTessie]

Yes it is such a great book !!!

[@ellenfisher6341]

Paisley Szu Szu, I know what you mean. After my divorce , I fed my 3 boys on meals like this . It is amazing what you can come up with out of necessity & love !!!

[@celticbirdwoman1198]

Vietnam fried rice is our chidren's favorite and I've made it for company and got rave reviews!

[@marthahoward7734]

I bet beans would be good. YES. thanks for that tidbit.

[@evamyrick9803]

Tessie, I have made this dish for over 50 years. Mine however was made in tin foil pockets. Here this dish is call Hobo dinner. You could make it either in individual serving packets or in a large tin foil pouch placed on a baking sheet and bake. That way there is no clean up needed. Ours you placed the raw hamburger on the bottom, then sprinkle rice over it, then all the vegetables. We don't use tomatoes in our dinners. The steam and cooking hamburger cooked the rice. My daughter Annette use to make these foil pocket for her husband's nephews when they came to stay the weekend. She called them Kangaroo pockets for these little boys. Now those boys are married with kids of their own. They are still talking about the Kangaroo pocket that Aunty Annette made them. I sometimes added fresh or frozen green beans in the pockets as well. Sometime placed frozen mixed vegetables in and omitted the sliced carrots. For a different play on the dish. I made it with hamburger, sliced potatoes, slice mushrooms, , onions and sometimes sliced yellow squash. As you said this dish can be made in all kinds of different dishes.

[@001HannahGrace]

Reminds me of what we used to make that we called "Tin Foil Dinners". We put the same thing in tin foil pouches in the oven, one for each person.

[@normlarkin1199]

Given that cookbook as wedding gift 35 years ago from my wife's sister and our brother in law (they are Mennonite) Tried several recipes that use basic and inexpensive ingredients - very practical Really like it!

[@SherryEllesson]

I live in a large Amish & Mennonite community in Delaware, and the More With Less cookbook is one of the first I bought at a Mennonite-run store that sells bulk dry ingredients, closeout frozen foods and also has a wood-stove section. The store has free pamphlets all around, showing what types of dry grains & flours they have and some ideas for how to use them.

[@sadie21962]

I absolutely love this cookbook. Every time I find one at a thrift store I buy it to give as a gift. All my daughter's and daughter in law have copies.

[@joycemccombs7653]

Thank you again for a great sounding recipe.i took the hamburger out of the freezer just now,an have everything to make it.it has turned cold this week so nice to have the oven on for a few hrs. Sounds like this can be made for around 5.oo an will be good for 2 meals, for 2 days for son an I. Thank you so much. I'm going to look for that cook book. Hope all are healthy. Always something to do so can't say I'm bored,but miss not getting out . Do go to the grocery ,or dollar tree once a week. Wear gloves an mask,at my age I know I have to be super careful. Got plenty of the gold t. P. Lol I always buy extra of staples when on sale. So I had 30 rolls when this started. I bought 8 rolls yesterday,just to be safe. Until next time,luv an God bless. Joyce from Mich. We had a bit of snow today.

[@ruthhill5311]

I have LOVED that cookbook for most of my 42 years of married life. In fact, I am on my second copy!! Totally wore out the first. Our family’s favorite recipe from that cookbook is the Honey Baked Chicken. It is AMAZING. We have even grilled chicken using the sauce.

[@HomesteadTessie]

Ruth I am going to try that recipe !

[@sheilam283]

I read about that cookbook many years ago in the Tightwad Gazette, probably 25 years ago, I bought it right away and have been using it ever since. It is a great cookbook! I have never made this recipe but it looks good, I will have to give it a try! I like how you said it can be made with less than the full lb of ground beef because I am trying to stretch my meat these days.

[@pamelastandhart9650]

That is so funny! That is exactly where I heard about the cookbook also! Loved the Tightwad Gazette! Remember the newsletters before the books!

[@irenebaker8263]

Tessie this is certainly what we need right now....simple nutritious food! I enjoy these videos!

[@Mrs.Sunday]

I bet this would be good with beans in place of the ground beef. Looks like a meal that would last for a few meals for my husband and I. Healthy too! Thank you for sharing this Tessie. God bless.

[@eileenlester4342]

Yum.

[@jonskinner3940]

This casserole looks delicious and nutritious. We like to organize meals ahead of time. We also clean as we go along. That way, we not only have a clean kitchen, we don't have anything but dinner dishes to do after our meal. Great advice, Tessie!

[@ML-sy3bn]

It's like putting 2 of my favorite things together in one dish, hamburger soup and casseroles.

[@karenallen919]

I have had the "More with less" cookbook and lifestyle book for many years. They are a great resource as well as the companion book Extending the Table" cookbook.

[@kathyscrazylife]

I have made this recipe before. I got the recipe somewhere. It was called Shipwreck. I add salt, pepper, and paprika to each layer. Yum. Thanks for reminding me of this tasty recipe.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

I had not heard of smoked salt. It sounds yummy

[@eileenlester4342]

Hi Tessie sis. 🌞 This is the best kind of meal! I made these "concoctions " for years and my family loved them. I am the queen of substitutions! Just the type of meal that we need during these uncertain times. TFS. Love you. 💜

[@nomadicbee1728]

I've had the More With Less cookbook for about a year. It's become my favorite because it helps me cook more frugally and mindfully. The Sweet and Sour Pork recipe is absolutely delicious! But, you don't have to use pork, I have substituted chicken which is equally delicious. Many recipes include options to use different ingredients if you don't have the one(s) listed.

[@richardschmidt2430]

In cooking school, it was called mise en place or "putting in place" or "everything in its place" -- gathering all of your ingredients, bowls, utensils, etc. to make a dish! That way, you KNOW you have everything to make the dish BEFORE YOU START! Very good Tessie! You're awesome! :) Blessings from our house to yours! :) I love basic, whole food cooking now! I cooked the fancy stuff in my youth! :) We love you here in MN :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

[@celticbirdwoman1198]

I've used that cookbook so much I had to get a new one! The recipes are healthy and thrifty! I make the 6 layered casserole and I use watered down tomato sauce for the liquid. Love these videos, Tessie!

[@pjl2963]

There is a real need at this time for your pantry videos, Tessie...please keep them coming!

[@mustangsuzie7]

Hey y’all! Ooh Tessie, that is one of my favorite cook books!! Love the oatmeal bread recipe and cream of cauliflower soup. That’s a great idea with the carrots! I have 55 tomato plants coming up, looking forward to having my own canned tomatoes and sauces again. :)

[@WilletteB]

I've made a similar recipe using foil packs with the same ingredients minus the rice & tomatoes. Always yummy and a big hit with my family. Thank you, Tessie! 🙂

[@donnasnesko8280]

LOVE THE "MORE WITH LESS" COOKBOOK! Ive been using it for over 40 years. As a young wife it really taught me HOW to cook. Love so many of the recipes but the Spicy Split Pea soup is the best! Also, this is a cookbook that builds your faith.

[@aliceknittel8543]

Back in the 1960's I use to make this dinner using the same ingredients, but cooked it in a frying pan. Sauteed the onions and meat, added the veggies and tomatoes, covered with a lid and summered on medium to low until the veggies were tender and it was delicious. Hamburger was .39¢ pound back in the 1960's and carrots and potatoes filled the frying pan. I never used rice, but I now have to try your recipe and bake it in the oven. You brought back memories, long forgotten

[@HomesteadTessie]

Hope you enjoy,It is an amazing meal !

I'm actually having fun cooking and eating from the pantry!! I do the same as you. If I find a recipe I have the ingredients for, then that is what we have for the evening meal. Sometimes I also substitute if I don't have an ingredient. I much prefer the "down home" cooking with standard ingredients.
