I love the old recipe books (really old). So simple and you know what's really integral to the recipe. I'm not into newer recipes that call for things like champagne vinegar, or other such frippery.

[@donnamathoslah8183]

My parents were kids during the Depression and they both came from large families. Even though we were a family of 4 my mom made Goulash for us often and I still like it today. In fact, your video made me hungry for it so I am going to make some for my dinner. Thanks, Tessie!

[@user-zo8mf4gn5g]

my sister used to make goulash all the time. She's 11 years older than me so when I was little she was learning to cook. My parents were born in the 30s and grandma in the 1900s so they lived through that depression era. Must be why I grew up watching them be pretty frugal!

My mom use to add Macaroni to her chili when she wanted to stretch it out so we would have left over for the next day. This reminded me of that.

[@jemmiestone5731]

I have never ever eaten chili without noodles. Didnt even know it was a possibility to be called chili without noodles until well into adulthood. It was always listed as an imgredient in all the family recipes.

I like how you showed the recipe right from the cookbook page. You mentioned that there are days when you do meal prep, like cooking chicken, browning ground beef, etc. I don't remember seeing you do a meal prep video. I'd bet a lot of people would like to see that. Like me! 😄

[@terririccardi2194]

I remember my nana making this for supper and when she didn't have tomatoes she would add gravy and the veggies were never the same it was what ever was left over in the fridge. If I remember right it seems to be a lot of corn or green beans. But she always had fresh hot bread with it. Oh I miss my nana's cooking. Thanks for the great memory. Keep smiling sweetie xoxo

[@NanaMom104A]

Pretty soon after I started watching your channel, I started canning and creating me a pantry. With your help and the help of a few other of my favorite canners on youtube I learned well. I kept telling my family that they needed to be prepared of course they asked me for what and I said for anything and for everything. In my mind I was preparing for when all the food got sky high because of the weather. Never did I expect this to happen. But it has and I want to thank you and all my friends here for the support I got in the past year while learning. Also, I hope you all are doing well and are safe. God bless.

[@lemoncrinckles]

Thank you, Tessie. These old recipes are still around because they're tried and true and taste good! TFS. (:

[@rosemarie6545]

I’ve made food like this, it looks yummy, the carrots help balance the acidity of tomatoes. I grate carrots for spaghetti sauce, no one knows they’re there after it cooks. The acid of tomatoes causes some people to get indigestion or acid reflux, but we all enjoy cooking those type dishes. Now I cut back on pasta dishes to keep my weight down.

[@ellenfisher6341]

When I was a young divorcee with 3 young boys to raise, I fixed meals like this to stretch every penny. I didn't put Kidney beans or carrots int ~ but that does look YUMMY ! It's actually ~good even without meat, which in those days was hard to come by !

[@primrozie]

My boys loved (still do) skillet and one pot meals. I think they tend to be comfort food :)

How did our grandmothers live without slow cookers??? I love mine. This recipe is so versatile and yummy! God bless, dearheart, and stay safe everyone!

My grandma, born in 1919 used a stovetop pressure cooker. Just as good as a Crock-Pot for easy meals.

[@caroldeaton619]

That is top of the line goulash. Mine is so plain compared to that beautiful dish of goulash you just made. This old lady here is really learning the meaning of never too old to learn. Hope I said that right. Oh how I wish I was your neighbor that would be a blessing in itself to me I would be right out there helping you and loving every minute of it. You don't find too many people nowaday as loving and caring As You Are on top making everything shine and beautiful that you touch. I could just go on and on telling you how much I love these videos and you. But I think I've babbled enough. I mean every word that I just wrote here from the bottom of my heart like I'd be talking to one of my children. Matter fact my oldest son that passed away would have turned 50 this November..

[@joycefortunato827]

I make that dish quite a bit. I usually use ground turkey but lately my neighborhood grocer is out of it but it seems as though there is plenty of ground beef to be found. I like to alternate and make it with pasta one time and then switch over to rice the next. I miss the music in the beginning of the videos when you open the door and let the chickens out, but I enjoy your videos nonetheless! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Tessie and a lovely evening and as always stay safe!💕

[@lynnann7007]

Thanks Tessie for sharing this Depression recipe, I honestly didn’t know what to make for dinner tomorrow until I seen this! And yes that’s pretty much what we are doing is using what we have to create a meal! I don’t have any ground beef but I do have ground turkey. I don’t have any peppers or onions but I do have dry minced onions and I do have tomatoes and pasta so I’ll use what I do have 😁 I honestly can’t wait until we can go to the grocery store and hopefully find things we need! Such a tough time for everyone!

[@carolbabb7875]

Hi Tessie that looks like a cross between chili and American chop suey. I precook my hamburger like that too for ease. It also takes up less space in the freezer. I can't make soups or stews right now as I'm out of celery, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and other fresh veggies. Have not been to the market for over 3 weeks and will have to go Monday or Tuesday. I want to make a rough 20 day food plan before I go so I will know what I need. My waist line is also screaming for a big green salad! Stay safe and well everyone.

[@dianehall5345]

Good morning Tessie. You are almost to 40K subscribers! Well done! I am going to look for that cook book. Made with the macaroni, it is one of my mother's recipes. So good! As you know I teach rural New Hampshire lifestyles from 1920 to 1940, when time allows. Our first calf of the season arrived yesterday. A beautiful Hereford Heifer! 19 to go, unless we have twins! Being a working farm, not much has changed for us, except the way we pick up necessary farm supplies. We CALL first, charge the order and pick it up at the loading dock. Same with groceries. There are either drive up windows or the parking lot. We are also going back to the 1930s and 1950s here. A neighboring farm is now delivering fresh eggs into a cooler at our door! We are banding together to see how we can help each other and who is raising or growing food and milk. Take care- Diane

[@rexcarebear4701]

Just wanted to remind you how smart you are. Earlier in the year you encouraged folks to buy food as the weather would cause high prices. I bought chicken enough to fill my freezer and am i glad!

[@GoodThingsEtc]

Oh wow! I haven't had that since my mom made it!!!! I can not do pasta so I would use rice or potatoes. such child hood memories! Thanks Tessie!

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

I didn't know there was an American version of it, but wunderbar goot :) The version we make isn't that different, instead of the macaroni we used rice. Kidney beans? Well in that period I doubt that anyone have ever heard of it, so no beans in it :P We used some flower to make the sauce thicker. It was indeed a dinner that wasn't that expensive, but still very healthy. Kom essa? That was an easy one :) It's derived from 'Komm essen". In Dutch it is 'Kom eten' and ofcourse in English it is 'Come eat'. I guess this is a nice example that covers a lot. PA Dutch contains a lot of German dialect, and some are close to Dutch dialects (at the borders it is a grey area) and that Dutch sounds a lot like a mixture between English and German :)

Love your videos. Thank you for the links. Fun fact about sprouting onions are you can cut off all the layers around the Sprout and use those to cook with .and then the actual pieces as long as you cut it to where they're still root on the bottom you can replant those and grow yourself some more onion from an onion also works if you cut the bottom of an onion and you keep just the root end and. you can also get onion with green onions as well but you don't have to pull a green onion you just continue the Harvest the top.
