Potatoes And Beans - Great Depression Cooking - Budget Meal - Poor Man's Meal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2021
- My Mom and Dad grew up during The Great Depression. They continued to cook and eat many of the meals that they ate during that time throughout their lives. This is a very simple and cheap meal that I call Potatoes and Beans because that's what it is! All you need is a potato or two and a can of your favorite baked beans and you have a hearty and nutritious meal.

I used a can of baked beans in this recipe. You can use any kind of baked beans that you like.
OMG! I’m just 60 years young lol and have eaten this my entire life. My grandfather taught it to me. He called it HOBO STEW. Said he was a train jumper as a young man and you’d cook your potato in the fire, hang a can of beans over the fire and when hot combine.
My family favorite way to have this is with cut up hotdogs added while cooking. Even my grandkids love it. And it’s a great way to stretch one pound of hotdogs.
Thanks for the memory.
Add diced tomato and cumin powder after the beans grandma and tell me if you like it. Love you and your recipe.
So many people are having a hard time feeding their family these videos are a service to all of them. Thank you from all of us
Red Potatoes work really well for this kind of meal as well as for soups and stews. The russet potatoes work really well for baking, for mashed potatoes and for potato salad, etc. I try to keep some of each on hand for the different meals.
Good source of protein...
We’re all going to eat like this soon. Even the price of POTATOES is insane. But at least we get something tasty! Thanks, grandma.
So true! Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
💯
I grew up learning to cook like this, my mom and dad were depression era babies. I liked to put some on a slice of soft white bread and fold it over (if we had the bread). That's how the U.S. Military families got by. Sometimes all I want to eat is a can of beans, or a nice salt and peppered potatoe. It's very comforting to me.
Potatoes are easy to grow.
"By 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" - The World Economic Forum.
"this recipe is called beans and potatoes, the ingredients are beans and potatoes" ..there was no time for marketing fluff during the depression, if someone today posted a recipe called beans and potatoes they would have an ingredient list that required trips to 7 different specialty food stores
So true! Thank you for watching👩🏻
I prefer simple meals like this over meals that have more ingredients
And the video tutorial would be at least 10 minutes.
As a mexican we eat this EVERYDAY!!!! Pinto beans,onions potatoes and eggs for BREAKFAST, LUNCH,DINNER wrapped up like a burrito I eat like 4 in one sitting or 12 a day x 5 days a week is 60 of these. Love em no complaints here food of CHAMPIONS. sometimes if I can afford it I'll throw in chorizo. Yup everyday seriously since I was 5yrs old I'm 53 now and still eating 12 a day. They are cheap, filling and easy to make good warm or cold. And you can always microwave them.
Thank you for sharing the similar meal you eat. It is a healthy meal to eat especially having it that many times a day. We eat many meatless meals. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Many people say it's expensive to eat healthy. It's not true. I made 30 quarts of chili for under $100. Enough so I won't have to cook for the month of May.
Love her clips, does anyone else think she sounds like Edith Bunker??? 🤔😁😎
Yes I know I sound like Edith as my Mom sounded so much like her and was told many times. Thank you for watching👩🏻
Yes she does. And I love it. And I loved that show. 📺👍🤣
Yes some, but her voice is so much sweeter. As someone commented on your nice hands. You have long fingers... You could have been a hand model. Such a nice couple you two are... GOD Bless You both. Enjoy your videos so very much.
Yup.
Stifle yerself!😱
I support Grandpa's logic about ketchup on potatoes! Ketchup goes on just about anything.
Grandpa is happy to hear you enjoy ketchup on potatoes also. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
if you want everything to taste of ketchup!
Grandma, i love this.
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I grew up on this..sometimes we added onions..
And extra beans
Onions are a great addition to this meal. Thank you for sharing and watching 👩🏻
Always onions! 🌞
@@GrandmaFeral my grandma stretched everything.lol
Oh a little more garlic if on hand!
My Mother used to make this in her crockpot. I don't remember a pot of beans that she didn't add chopped potatoes with. She also would sometimes add sweet potatoes to her beans.
Thank you for sharing how your Mom made the recipe in a crockpot. We love sweet potatoes so that would be tasty with beans. Have a good day👩🏻
I saw this video this morning, checked out the comment section, and made my own version: potatoes, beans, onion, and an egg. I added salt and pepper, too. This is an exquisite dish. I have always loved poverty food, and this is one of the best recipes I've tried in years. Thank you!
Hi your so welcome! Most of my recipes you can add whatever ingredients you like to make it your own. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
A lot of people think hard times are coming again. I think we will do fine, going back to living simple. I love “Poor” food. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Glad you found my channel and love the simple meals. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I love it too, they are the best meals.. my husband not so much. He is not a fan.
It IS the best. All countries. The “peasant” food is the BEST. And in general, a lot healthier, too, eh? Even if there’s a lot of butter sometimes, we NEED fat in our diet. And if you look at it per serving, it’s not horrifying for the anti butter (fat) 🤷♀️ crowd.
Poor foods are healthy foods
@@cornstar1253 why did you say that ???
I have exactly 4 potatoes and one can of refried beans for the next week and this is perfect! Thank youu ❤
Perfect! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you grandma! Just like my Nana from the mountain in NC, potatoes, pinto beans, onion, cornbread-perfect meal.
Sounds great with the cornbread. Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you Edith, tell Awchee I still watch the show! You're a national treasure!
Thank you, I will ❤️Grandma Edith😂
I love you guys your food is so quick simple delicious and filling thank you grandma and grandpa
Thank you for your kind words and for watching 👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral love you guys x
What a nice grandma you are❤
Bless your heart. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
Love beans and potatoes. May I ask Grandma Feral? Depression recipes are a must in times like today! Thank you Grandma Feral.
Glad you like the Depression recipes. They are easy recipes with just a few ingredients. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
HI Grandma Feral. A side meal my Mom made who grew up in the depression also is using... cooked leftover FRESH green beans from our garden mixed with scrambled eggs with butter in pan first and salt and pepper. Sometimes sautéing onions first then eggs at high heat then adding green beans. I love making this, it brings back memories and tastes so good...better with butter as the saying goes.
Both my parents grew up on farms with gardens and eggs daily from chickens in Wisconsin during the depression. Really the egg is perfect protein and green beans veggie vitamins fiber is what the body needs...a meal now at my age.
Thank you for sharing the meal your Mom made. I will be making it soon. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
@Deb V That sounds so good. Going to make your mom’s scrambled eggs with green beans for lunch today.
@@IrisCharles you will have to post if you like the green beans and eggs, my Mom used garden fresh green beans or I have used frozen not canned of course.. Another egg dish I make from our local hospital restaurant is an egg omelette or I just soft scramble eggs topped with (cooked spinach softer for my handicap son) or raw spinach wilted heated at the last cooking of egg covered to help steam spinach, then top with thin slices of cream cheese to melt some. So if omelette... cream cheese and spinach inside. Of course my son had hash browns and toast too. He was hungry after fasting for tests.
Love the additional suggestion of adding eggs. What a great way to stretch the meal even further and add additional protein inexpensively. It looks delicious.
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
As always I love everything you make especially during the depression. Thank you so much for sharing Grandma and Grandpa 💗 You both are wonderful!
I am so happy to hear you love all the recipes especially the depression ones. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
As Usual,Great Looking Low Cost Food ,Thank You !!!
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Great Video! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Looks so good. This is my kind of eating. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Thank you for sharing! You two are a delight!!
Thank you for watching👩🏻
My late Dad (who was old enough to be my Grandpa) told me of stories of how they ate during the depression. They used to have "Grabble potatoes" I asked what they were and he said whatever you could dig up and grab from a field. lol Of course is sounds like theft, but practically everyone in that tiny Oklahoma town was family by blood or marriage, so it was a take what you need offer for family!
I'm fascinated by recipes from that period and I think we're ALL going to need a few recipes in the arsenal to face the inflation that is coming! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa!
Glad your Dad told you about the depression as I learned from my Mom. I hope these recipes will help as food prices are on the rise. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
oooh I’m going to make this thank you 💜💜
I am happy to hear you will be making this meal. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I used to make this as a broke vegetarian college student. Also, beans on toast. I didn't realize those were already recipes until years later. 😊
Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Consider frying them in lard. Taste super good
A favorite of mine growing up and even now! I sometimes even eat it for breakfast 😊 just microwave a potato and put on cold beans straight from the can 😅 it’s easy, delicious and extremely filling.
Even tried making my own baked beans this weekend due to how expensive canned beans are! And they taste wonderful. I have so much now but, I’ll definitely eat them.
Thank you for your lovely video! Will have to try it your way soon
Hi thank you for sharing how you make your potato and beans. Everything is getting so expensive in the stores. Thank you so much for watching ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Making ? Like growing ?
Looks delicious!
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I love pinto beans and potatoes because that was a southern meal so mixing them is good for me!
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I made this for Lunch today and it was very good. I admit I was a little skeptical, it didn’t seem like something I would enjoy, but boy was I wrong. I did have some hot sauce with it instead of ketchup, and I put a fried egg on the top. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!
Glad to hear you made this meal for lunch. Having hot sauce and a fried egg with it made it even better. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Smart idea to boil the potatoes at least partially done before frying them! Had never thought to do that. My mom liked potatoes but my dad loved beans and he loved potatoes but we never thought to cook them together. Smart!
I would love to see a series by you of your all-time favorite simpler/easier meals. The era of the foods/recipes wouldn't matter, just meals that you really enjoy cooking and eating. I'm also sure that you have some amazing recipes from past decades that have been forgotten in the meantime. (I love recipes from the forties through the eighties that may have gone out of fashion but were fantastic in their own right.) Thank you for all that you do!!
Grandpa really likes beans and potatoes. He has been a potato lover since I married him. I will never forget when we were just married and I made him mashed potatoes. I added a little to much milk and it became Potato Soup. Grandpa was gracious and told me it was delicious. I have so many recipes and my Mom has a collection. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day❤️👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Sounds like a very good man, there. I'm so glad you found each other!
This looks so good, great combination of potatoes and beans! Like that you half boil the potatoes so it’s quicker. Going to try this. Thank you again Grandma and Grandpa, for sharing these depression era recipes. These are perfect times for inexpensive, quick and few ingredient recipes. 😻💙💙
Glad to hear you will be making this meal and you like the depression era recipes. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
I wonder. I bet you could skip the boil altogether and just throw those in the microwave for 4 minutes or so.
Thank you for the recipe (Dziękuję za przepis, babciu!). Quite funny, but it was quite often by me in my student years. Maybe not a depression, but my budget was very tight anyway :-)
Thank you for sharing making this meal when you were a student. Thank you for watching and have a good day❤️👩🏻
Great job as always kids! 2 of my favorite foods combined. Don't eat ketchup very often but on this I would. Home fries need ketchup and hot sauce! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! 💜😃💙
Grandpa loves ketchup especially on this meal. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
Yes, ketchup and hot sauce house here! Lol 😂
i love your channel! my parents also grew up during the depression so i know a lot of these recipes. thanks for reminding me.
Glad you love my channel and thank you for watching 👩🏻
You sound like Edith on All in the family. I love her! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I love this recipe for vegan in me! God bless you !
My Mother sounded like Edith and everyone would tell her that so like Mother like Daughter Lol. Thank you for watching and for your blessings👩🏻
I love fried potatoes and pinto beans, I grew up here in tn, and we ate this meal alot w fresh cornbread. My husband and I still enjoy it often. He grew up in Pike County KY. So many of your videos are similar dishes that I grew up eating. Thank you for what you do. Yall are awesome and we are happy that you share your lives with us from your kitchen. God bless you both
Hi we enjoyed reading your comment. It’s a pleasure to share the recipes and hear that so many people grew up eating similar meals. Next time I make the potatoes and beans we will be having cornbread also. What a great addition to this meal. We thank you for God’s blessings❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
💜 Do you put sugar in your corn bread? Here in Tn, we generally don't. I learned to make it from my Grandma, and my Mom and Aunts. They used lard in a cast iron skillet and got it good and hot, and the batter was made of self rising cornmeal, whole buttermilk, an egg or two, depending on the size of the skillet, pour the batter in the hot skillet, love the sizzle it makes when I pour it in. In my oven it takes 30 min to bake a large skillet of corn bread. I like it crumbled up in soups, beans, and and sometimes just as the bread on the side cut in half w butter on it, that also goes well with onion. Two of my Aunts liked mayonnaise in their beans w the corn bread, and I to like it that way sometimes. It's interesting how folks in different parts of the country cook the same meals differently. I lived in Utah for 2 years, and there they put sugar in their corn bread, it nearly tasted like cake to me lol. My Dad used to make a cake from scratch, no written recipe, he learned it from his mom. He grew up in the great depression. Best I remember, it was simple, just self rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, it may or may not have had egg in it, I can't remember. It was always such a looked forward to treat when he would make it, my sister and I still talk about it. I wish I would have watched him so I could have learned it. I'm thinking it was probably a simple great depression recipe since they had very little money to work with back then. With grocery prices going up, your channel and your recopies are truly a blessing for ideas of how to eat well on a budget. Thank you❤@@GrandmaFeral
From Italian back ground. This was a biggie in my grandparents home. They added onion. And crushed pepper flakes. 🌶🧅🥔you are so cute. 👍
Thank you for sharing how your grandparents made this meal. Have a good day👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thanks 😊 you also. 😸
You are so great. Thank you somuch for your cooking video. People were much more healthy with this poor man's food than all the glutony we have nowadays
Hi I agree 100% ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Looks great. Love it.

We’ve decided that when we retire we want to eat beans on toast every day- maybe once a week we will splurge and have beans in a potato
We enjoy all these simple and easy meals. It’s the best way to eat especially when you retire. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Grandma Feral I just LOVE you and your recipes. You remind me of my lovely Grand Ma.
Glad I remind you of your lovely Grandma❤️Grandma👩🏻
I have a peculiar fascination with Depression Era Meals. I really like the creativity that was used to make these recipes. Grandma Feral and Auntie Clara both make amazing depression meals!
Thank you so much for watching. I am happy to hear you like the Depression Era Meals.❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thanks ma! I can’t wait to see your next Depression recipe!
Here is a link my playlist with all of my Depression Era Recipes - ruclips.net/video/mii-r41EdnM/видео.html
Well this will fill you up, for sure. Thank you for another great Depression recipe!
I have some potatoes that need using up quickly... maybe this will be my inspiration, a jumping off point. I think I might use chick peas instead, as I like them better, and give it some Indian spices. Next thing you know, I'll have a pot of chana aloo curry going! Yum!
We enjoy chick peas also especially in a salad. Thank you for watching and have a good day❤️👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral A salad is my favorite way to use chick peas, especially in summer. Red onion, parsley, cucumber. Italian seasoning (dried herbs). Maybe some feta cheese if I have some on hand. A vinagrette dressing with red pepper flakes. Sort of Italian or Greek---feels like the Mediterranean! A simple version of this (just the seasonings and oil/vinegar) was the very first salad I learned to make as a young child.
Yum!!! 😋
Thank you for watching 👩🏻

Hi Grandma... Thank you for sharing your tips with us. A pleasure to see someone working with real foods instead of fast foods! Thank you for your time.
Hi you are so welcome. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
I just made potato 🥔 salad with frozen vegetables. I boiled the potatoes and vegetables together. It's more nutritious. Got the potatoes on "reduced for quick sale".
Thank you for sharing the meal you made. Great idea and like you said more nutritious.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Like hash!
Taste good ma!
Thank you for watching👩🏻
I didn't know this was a thing. I've been putting baked beans on my baked potatoes for years. Great combination.
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
My wife's kids and their families loved
it when she would cook potatoes and dumplings. Just diced potatoes boiled and canned biscuits for the dumplings
Sounds great! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

Hi sounds great! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Just watching the video I remembered my grandparents. Simple cooking, tasty food. I often have potatoes and beans, but never fried the potatoes. Now I will! And yes, I would add ketchup, but my dad was a butcher and would cringe when we kids used ketchup. Good memories. Thanks for sharing.
I am happy to hear I could bring back some good memories. Your Dad would have not been fond of Grandpa using ketchup on so many foods he eats. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
I grew up eating mashed potatoes & baked beans as dinner. Loved it❤️
We like mashed potatoes and beans also. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻

Is Grandpa having a cocktail with dinner? Nice! Another great video!
