Saturday Poor Man's Meal | Hard Times - recipes to stretch your budget

[@joycewilson3443]

Salted pork always reminds me of my great grandmother and I’m 63. She was from Poland and I learned this recipe before she left this world, many years ago. She would take diced salt pork and fry it up until crisp. Add boiled cabbage which was squeezed to remove all the water. Then she would chop and add to the salt pork and a whole load of ground black pepper. I mean if you think you have enough, add more! No salt. That was her filling for perogies. Over 120 year old recipes if not longer. Thank you for the memory ❤

[@ooinvsaoo]

Is boiled cabbage, literal boiled cabbage. Or is it some odd canned thing?

[@TheMimiSard]

@@ooinvsaoo I am going to guess it is boil-it-yourself straight from the garden cabbage.

[@JDziewaltowski]

@@ooinvsaoo I grew up with this as well! Boiled cabbage in this is literal boiled cabbage, definitely not a canned concoction!

[@Kiki-D-Kimono]

I remember one of my Italian great aunts making something similar, except she used pepperoni instead of salt pork.

[@northstarjakobs]

I imagine that the salted pork would remedy the need for any added salt. And all that pepper is probably a good balance for the relative lack of flavor of the cabbage

[@stephgilliam]

Hard Times episodes always make me think of my grandparents. They grew up during the Depression and as I get older I realize how many of their recipes were born from the necessity of cooking inexpensive meals for 7 people.

[@gigidodson]

My grandparents always had a spreadno matter when you showed up. Dish after dish put on the table. It was always homey food they had grown out of their garden. The meat they raised or hunted for. The bread she made 3 times a week. My grandparents only "eating out" indulgence at home was KFC. Lol

[@nottheonlybenson7241]

@@gigidodson People were healthier back then too. Not eating processed foods and a ton of sugar. My grandmother was from the Great Depression, and she had her own garden and raised cows and sheep. She made everything from scratch, and it was the best food I have ever had.

[@patrickchilds9620]

Likewise the women who had to cook for a family during WWII. They really had to economize because so much food was sent to Europe and other foods could not be landed from overseas. Took me years to realize where so many of the weird recipes came from.

[@janesays1278]

My grandma was the youngest child and orphaned by 12, but had an older brother and sister and aunt & uncle to help out, but even with all of that, she was the one who took up cooking. She grew up in a small town where you could go up to any house and knock on the door to ask for a cookie. She was an amazing baker, and she would always make one cake, cut it in half, and then frost it with two different flavors of frosting, so when company came over they could have their choice of “two” cakes.

[@YT4Me57]

My parents were Depression era kids, who were teens during WWII and faced rationing of food. I grew up in the 50s and 60s with many of these budget, but filling meals!

[@bruguerini]

This recipe is what we eat for lunch, dinner and all of our major meals in Brazil. It's called "arroz e feijão", something like "Rice and beans".

[@syrophenikanx]

And it’s so weird to see it called “poor man’s meal” lol

[@nope_nope_nono]

Carai nóis é pobre heuehiahi

[@glamreaper131]

@@syrophenikanx in the Southern US it is a poor man's meal. You can get quite a bit of beans and rice for only a couple dollars. I remember growing up my grandfather would make "soup beans" which is basically what it sounds like. Beans stewed for a long time with water and a little of whatever pork was on hand. There would be cornbread and fried potatoes with it. He made it for the grandkids because it's his favorite, but made it for my mom and her siblings when they were children because they were dirt poor. It's funny how certain things are considered "poor" in different places. Haha. What are some struggle foods that you grew up with?

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

I’m Mexican and arroz con frijoles is a daily thing for us too

[@michellezevenaar]

They make the same thing in Suriname, the Netherlands and most of Europe. It's just a classic recipe from hundreds of years ago that became popular in Europe because the ingredients store for winter so well. The ingredients travel well too so its very popular with areas of migration. This is also very similar to making pea soup, dried peas cook faster then dried beans though.

[@amandaf3663]

My mom was born in the late sixties. She told me had there not been the garden her mom planted they would have starved. She told me how she’d be hungry and sneak into the garden with a salt shaker and eat tomatoes. My momaw had a hard life. Here in the Appalachian mountains people were really poor. To hear all the stories from my mom, momaw and my great aunts and uncles you really would have a hard time believing people were so poor and struggled in more modern times. It makes me feel extremely grateful to have all that I do.

[@blondienewton4669]

When you mentioned the part about the gardens, it reminded me of my favorite childhood story, Stone Soup.. Where a stranger comes to town and is hungry, but no one wants to help him. so he puts a huge pot of water on a fire and adds a stone. He lovingly stirs it and tastes it... He says how it is so good, but would be better if it had onions... then someone comes out and adds onions, and the story keeps going till everyone in the village comes out and keeps adding ingredients and everyone eats and loves what was cooked. Thank you Emmy for the lost memory..

[@trinahughes1230]

Oh man , this makes me miss my Daddy 😭 we ate a lot of meals like this - red beans and rice with smoked sausage and cornbread... or fried cabbage with pork of some kind.. always raw onions on the table for snacking on while eating dinner.... I thought everyone ate raw onions, but apparently not 🤣

[@Birdbike719]

Chopped raw onions with a bowl of blackeyed peas! Yum!

[@kathynurks4379]

We always had a plate of chopped fresh onion on a plate to sprinkle over the food if we wanted to. And vinegar, too. I'm 63 now and my whole life I've eaten cooked green leafy veg with raw onion & vinegar sprinkled over it. Like you, I thought everybody did that.

[@MichaelLawrenceMagic]

In the south most of us do.

[@werhipster]

If you change the beans from the brown ones to the black ones, you're gonna be doing Feijoada, a delicacy from Brazil. We serve with rice, kale sliced and fried, orange and farofa (no idea how to translate). It's said that the enslaved did eat a lot of it since beans are very easy to cultivate in the plantations.

[@fallingathousandfeet]

farofa is toasted yuca/cassava flour right?

[@arielmanela7641]

​@@fallingathousandfeet yep

[@asunbeam5479]

i ate feijoada every sunday growing up! Still one of my favorite comfort meals.

[@zanleekain117]

I was raised on beans, but cooked from raw, because canned beans where for rich people. The addition of rice was for special weekends or holidays. Also, different twist on this was to cook the rice in the bean broth, for a "rice and beans" Belizean style. 😋 🇧🇿 ❤

[@LariRL]

Hi, Emmy! In Brazil, it would be "Everyday Avarage Man's Meal" 😄 The combination of rice and beans is in the base of our food. We have feijoada, a bean stew with several diferent parts of pork, but this is something for special days, because takes a lot more work to do. On the daily basis, brazilian people make beans in a similiar way to the video, but we cook the bean from raw, put garlic and bayleaf (in addition to the onions), sausage and/or salted pork. Usually, we eat with rice, some kind of filet (chicken, pork, beaf...what you want or can buy) and some salad (normally lettuce and tomatos salad).

[@LariRL]

@@jhowblackman Como brasileira que não viveu fora, eu não me atrevo a dar detalhes da cultura alimentar de outros países. Releia o que eu escrevi. Em nenhum momento eu disse que era exclusividade do brasileiro, só falei sobre como comemos arroz e feijão aqui. É você quem tá se achando muito inteligente por ter pensado algo óbvio

[@JE-western-rider]

You are using the magical ingredient - the lowly bay leaf. Its amazing for what it does for a recipe, and you don't notice it until you make the recipie without the lowly bay leaf.

[@marcoscaballero3495]

Love the Hard times series. Have you ever heard of "Reviro"? It is a traditional meal in Argentina, more specifically, the province of Misiones. It consists of flour, water and salt. A dough is formed, fried in some oil and then just pulverized while it fries so you end up with something that looks like breadcrumbs. It was a meal invented by the people who worked harvesting yerba mate because there was pretty much nothing else to eat. People from the area still eat it nowadays.

[@jimgilbert9984]

Okra gumbo is redundant. Part of what makes gumbo not jambalaya is okra in the recipe. It's like saying baby puppy. Puppy means "baby dog," so saying baby puppy is the same as saying baby baby dog. Anyway, I make something very similar. However, instead of pork & beans, I use the Kroger version of Bush's Baked Beans. I usually use hamburger instead of smoked sausage, but I made this last night with the sausage. I also add a small can (drained) of mushroom bits & pieces; I feel the mushrooms add a little something to the dish. I usually serve it plain (no rice), or I serve it with biscuits or toast or toasted English muffins. I also make it in my slow cooker, as I did yesterday. I noticed you tossed your onion ends and skins into a bucket-thing. Since you have a garden, you're not going to throw those onion bits away, are you? Do you compost your veggie trimmings/peels? Such "throwaways" are very good soil ammendment for your garden once they've reduced down.

[@Nicki17321]

I grew up eating this but with red beans. We also ate pork n beans too, but with franks. Both dishes were served with white rice. 😋. I didn't know this was a poor man's meal, lol.

[@Butterfly4675]

It is to Boujee people lol

[@LightYwins]

It’s still bussin bussin

[@YT4Me57]

Me neither. Some version of this dish was in my family's regular rotation. 😊

[@lijohnyoutube101]

I never heard of poor people rice and beans style meals until long after I was an adult. We actually has little money growing up when I was very young but a big garden. I had meals that were often very produce heavy and salads were a constant in the summers. Soup and stews and stir fry meals were common from canned and frozen items.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Being raised by depression era grandparents, I can so relate to these hard times meals ..quite a few of them Emmy has done were actual routine meals in in our home. Emmy quite often brings me back to my childhood and those wholesome filling meals we made. (Grandma had us girls cooking at very a young age..l was around 7 when I first pulled the chair up to the stove)

[@serya-chan808]

Oh man for some reason this reminds me of a meal we eat on my island in the Caribbean. It was also considered a poor man's meal at the time but now we all eat it like normal because it's just great and delicious and hearty. Instead of the beans we'd have lentils or red beans, and instead of rice we'd have basically cooked "flour balls". You precook the meat/seafood beforehands and you mix it with a can of cooked lentils/red beans and flour balls, which are exactly what you imagine (flour + water). Add some water (it's like a stew but the sauce gotta be a bit thick and not watery). Season it the way you like. You let the whole thing cook in a big pot until the flour balls get tender and chewy, and then it's ready to eat. My mom often makes it on Sunday, it's delicious and so filling too🥺 I'm considering getting that book, all the recipes look so delicious!! Definitely gonna try this one, thanks Emmy!

[@LowKey_B]

I love these “poor man’s” meals mostly because I’m a poor man. Haha. Thank you Emmy for another great video!

[@na195097]

I grew up in Appalachia in the ‘80s. I think everyone here ate a variation on that. Ours used fried potatoes, since plain rice wasn't popular around here. And buttered white bread

[@lancerevell5979]

My late Dad cooked Blackeyed Peas and Pork often. He grew up in the Deep South (North Florida) in the Great Depression and WWII years. Being poor farmers and fishermen, his family ate some things we'd find unpalatable today. But I love the Blackeyed Peas.

[@jessylynn8565]

See my family’s poor mans food was a fried egg with white rice for breakfast. This one I would’ve never thought of. Love her channel for this exact reason. There’s just something so fascinating with learning about other cultures and meals from around the world.

[@kalista3658]

Funnily enough, when I had covid earlier this year and had to get groceries delivered to me by my mom, I asked her to bring me rice, beans, and sausage and this is pretty much what I made that entire week and a half...

[@dianabryan7421]

This just warmed my heart and made me tear up! Moms are always there!

[@blackmarya]

Glad you had an appetite with covid and had such a nice meal! me and my brother had no appetite along with no sense of taste, he ate the same beef and vegetable soup every day and I had scrambled egg burritos. Glad we got over it

[@vi_vas]

I'm from Brazil. My mom makes this recipe all the time. But we use pressure pan to cook the beans at home.

[@mrleger45]

When I was growing up, my mom would always serve rice with chili to extend the meal. My sister and I carried on the tradition. When my niece went to college, her friends were making chili, and she said “I’ll bring the rice!“ and all of her friends looked at her in dismay. She had no idea. Lol

[@lancerevell5979]

I do Chili with Rice often. It's comfort food!

[@theritchie2173]

Who doesn't serve chili with rice? Or pasta. Or crusty bread. Or baked potato. Ok it's actually pretty versatile. Although as someone going low-carb, I mostly just have it without any of those and it's still awesome (although I pack it full of beans).

[@to348]

I alway cook rice when I make chili. I thought most people did.

[@lizajoymorales248]

And then you roll the leftover chili and rice into tortillas with some shredded cheese and heat them in a skillet.

[@Birdbike719]

Chili and cornbread. Mmm. Winter food!

[@DeltaDemon1]

Yeah. When I was young (in the 70s) we were very poor but ate fairly healthy because we had a very large garden (100' by 200') with a great variety of vegetables. Late winter was annoying as we could not afford good veggies and all our stock from the harvest was gone so it was cheap canned veggies (frozen veggies were way too expensive) and some pickled veggies.

[@geneard639]

Two good resources are Marsh Hen Mill out of South Carolina that has heritage heirloom beans, rice and grits and Camilla Brand Beans out of Louisiana that have a multitude of old heritage beans like Lady Cream Peas.

[@SelfCareWithAshley]

For a Saturday "poor mans meal" this looks delicious. Sausage and onions will ALWAYS be my favorite thing to eat no matter how much money I have. When we didn't have much money, my mom would make a big pot of chicken cacciatore!

[@do_cs]

I'm from Brazil and this is everyday food over here (lol). We normally serve this dish with some type of protein whichever way you like it (grilled, stewed, fried, dredged and fried, you name it) and some type of salad.

[@JessBonomo]

I came to the comments to say exactly that. Even though not all families can afford to have pork and sausage with their beans everyday, we put it in as often as we can. And other than that, no brazilian would consider this plate of food a full meal lol Maybe it's what we can afford for today, but definitely not a complete meal

[@DawnChatman]

This was one of my dad's go-to meals to make us when we were young. We called it "Beanie Weenies", he used cut up hotdogs in the brown beans.

[@mermeridian2041]

(There are two different types of 'salt pork' - aka 'fat back', 'streak'ed meat' - one literally has salt crystals on it and the other kind, the type you used, does not. The type you used does NOT have to be rinsed off but the kind that has literal salt crystals on it and is mostly fat with only a little bit of meat, most definitely does. I bet you a quarter THAT is the kind the lady means when she says 'salt pork'. It is extremely flavorful and "gives the pan" a ton of rendered salty grease. After you fry the fat out of it - that fat is fantastic for greens, beans, frying 'flap jacks', greasing the pan for corn bread after pouring a little INTO the cornbread mix...THE LIST GOES ON... - you can eat the "pork rinds". The browned fried fat part is delicious but the actual rind part is really hard and tough but great to gnaw on, lol.)

Honestly it just tastes like unsalted butter mostly, maybe a bit sweeter, so like if you like butter you’ll probably like clotted cream. The texture is more like whipped cream than butter, and it occasionally has a bit of chunkiness to it but overall I’d say it’s worth the effort to make it at least once

My mother would make this for me growing up and to this day it’s a meal I make all the time, not only is it cheap it’s also delicious 😊

[@woundedpossums4740]

my mother use to make this for me when i was little! the beans would be sweet and the hot dog or sausage was salty very comforting for me!

[@janicebillingsley1287]

So great!! I grew up on similar meal with hot dogs instead of salty pork and cheddar cheese melted on top. Also had hot dog buns with mustard with it. It was good hardy meal!! Still luv it today, especially in cold weather!!! It really warms u up and had hot cocoa with it!!

[@stellajean3020]

This would be good in hot dog buns. Yum. Did you add the rice to it when you put it in the hot dog buns or just the beans and hot dogs?

[@janicebillingsley1287]

@@stellajean3020 I always add cooked rice to mixture then place all ingredients on top of toasted hot dog bun with mustard. Then add shredded cheddar cheese on top, let it melt and eat with fork but u could add all mixture to bun but it's little messy. I cook all in large sauce pan putting beans with bacon in first then add rest to pan to cook (hot dogs, sausage, onions, pepper, no salt). Add cooked rice to pan after all cooked. It feeds lots of people cheaply or could keep in fridge to heat up and eat all week. It's easy and yummy meal. Can have salad with it. Luv it!!!

@@stellajean3020 Hope u enjoy it! I also add provolone cheese to toasted hot dog buns then add mixture on top sometimes with cheddar cheese melted on top when want extra cheese. I luv cheese. Enjoy!!!

Cooking dried beans in a pressure cooker makes the process so much faster and the results are so much more tasty than canned. Especially with the addition of a bay leaf.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Reminds of when my siblings and I were kids. My parents used to make pork and beans with small pieces of bacon, round onions, and sliced vienna sausage. Sometimes, they put green onions in from our garden.

[@cookiesncream5000]

We used to make something similar when I was a kid but it was with hotdogs. My mom also added mustard and brown sugar. If we had they she would also add tomatos

[@sandrasandra7776]

My parents went through the depression and my father declared bankruptcy when I was about one year old. Because my mother had to eat so much rice when she was going through the depression (she was about 10 yrs. old) we never had rice in our house while I was growing up. We ate plenty of beans and frank type meals and lots of potatoes. We never had cheese in the house and never ate fast food or went out to eat. We never had soda in the house unless we were sick and then it was ginger ale. My parents had a garden and my mother would can tomatoes, pickles and also can tomato juice, jam and preserves. My mother raised chickens and had an egg route. We always had chicken every which way she could think of and chicken soup and plenty of eggs. I brought my children up in the 60s and 70s and they never had candy or soda in the house unless it was a holiday and then we had candy. I didn't realize we were poor as it was just a way of eating that I grew up with.

featuring cookbooks is fun. Cherry picking a favorite recipe and curating a few is a good way to have some excellent content.

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

I grew up and still make occasionally, "Cowboy's Breakfast." Ranch beans with sliced hotdogs or sausage and a couple slices of crumbled cooked bacon , hashbrowns and two fried eggs. Similar philosophy!

[@Birdbike719]

That reminded me of a dish my mom would make. Just good ole "Ranch style beans" over rice. The old cans used to say "husband pleasing" on the label, but sometime in the 70' they changed it to something else that wasn't so sexist. LOL. The beans are still great.

[@janetshepherd7872]

What a hearty & delicious looking meal. Would be wonderful on a cold rainy day. I’d love some more recipes from Emily’s recipe book! ❤

[@erodac]

As Bruna Guerini already comment, here in Brazil this is call "rice and beans" and it's just an absolutely normal average lunch and dinner meal for all brazilians - so seeing it being called "poor man's meal" it's kind of hearthbreaking in a weird way (I know the economy of each country it's different, but still fells odd). On our rice and beans (arroz e feijão), we might add, if the budget allows it, maybe some little pieces of sausages or some "linguiça". We normaly eat rice and beans a main meal with some simple salad as a side dish or a portion of beef or chicken (again, when the budget allows us to buy meat).

[@bluebagelman1920]

I don’t eat pork but I can easily substitute Turkey sausage. I love that you base many recipes from actual cookbooks- much appreciated!

[@eleanorroberts1886]

Or smoked turkey parts

[@ErnieB]

Late to the party, but I just found Emmy's channel. If you really have to stretch this meal among several persons, cut the sausage slices into quarters. If you have some "mustgo" veggies in the fridge, like a tired celery stalk or carrot, you can chop it up really fine, and add it to the rice, or just chuck it into the beans. Either way, it will change it up just a bit.

[@Ahmanese]

I make this once a week at times, cuz It's soo good, thnx Grandma for teaching a lot poor man's recipes, I have loads of.

[@KerryLimpus1]

I make something similar, but with baked beans and add spicy barbecue sauce to jazz it up. Super easy, fast and tasty. Great for potluck as well. With or without rice.

We ate a dish like this a lot when I was a child. Sometimes it was hot dogs or bulk pork sausage instead of smoked sausage. Instead of the rice my mother grated a couple of potatoes and browned them with the onion. True comfort food!

[@rachelgriffin2120]

This looks yummy! Definitely appreciate economical meal ideas with prices as they are. Will give a try-thanks Emmy

[@jessicacapizzo524]

When I was young my Dad had to leave to go to an oil rig he would be about three hours away, so Mon - friday he was gone, and there was not much money, one meal my mom would fix was Campbell's baked beans and ground beef together, with some veggies from our tiny garden,

[@cicilynnofficial]

I literally made this last week! I've had this so much growing up, I was craving it only I use hotdog, and bush's country style beans which already contain salted pork, and I sweeten the beans a bit more with brown sugar and maple syrup. I never knew it was "hard times" eating it though. To me it was just "Tuesday" lol

That's what we eat daily in Brazil, love it! 💗💗💗

Dear Emmy, I love your channel❤️ It's very inspiring! This meal is very similar to a meal that is often cooked in my country of origin (Suriname); Brown beans with rice. We only added chicken, pimento grains, a little bit of sugar (to taste) and garlic

highly recommend the fish cakes out of the same book. Delicious. Also a good way to use up leftover white fish of any kind.
