    Thank you and appreciate all of your knowledgeable videos! You bring back soo many wonderful family memories of cooking together! We would cook a huge soup pot of cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, kale, swiss chard, spinach, corn, peppers, turnips, sour kraut radishes, carrots, parsnips, beans and polish sausage or beef sausage. You can add anything you like or take away.
    We always had a garden to choose the veggies we wanted. Times are changing and knowing JESUS CHRIST as SAVIOR & KING makes ALL the troubles of each day more bearable to none! 🙏🙏♥️👍💯

    This is great, my grandmother had a depression meal with tomato sauce, hamburger and potatoes, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder also a splash of cheese. It is like spaghettis sauce over potatoes. She called it Portuguese Hamburger. One of my kids favorite meals.

    When my kids were little (in the 80's) we used hot dogs for everything. Hotdogs and cabbage, Hotdogs and tacos. I made my own corn Tortillas. Scrambled eggs and hotdogs, Goulash and how dogs. I don't buy them now. Lolol

    One of my favorite meals is cut up hot dogs and onions,, macaroni and tomato soup. At first my husband though I was nuts…now he asks for it. If I don't have hot dogs, I use ground beef.

    I was raised by my grandmother, and she had a garden. The biggest thing that stuck with me is when she would harvest all the cabbage from the garden and bring out her large crocks and make sauerkraut out of all that cabbage from the garden. That was some cheap eating. She also did a lot of canning, and I remember helping her. One of my favorite canned things was garden tomatoes turned into a sweet tomato ketchup. I knew more old fashion stuff than other kids my age. LOL Great recipe.

    God bless you Becky, a warm meal like that sure takes me back to when I was a kid. Especially on the cold winter days up here in Canada, it always hit the spot and warned us up. 😎🥘🙏👍

    if you think it's too salty add a potato the potato will soak up the salt. you can also soak your hotdogs in water before cooking them to get reduce salt 8 hours up to overnight.

    Hard times my foot that meal sounds wonderful and cornbread would be so good with it I remember my mom cooked hotdogs with sauerkraut I didn’t care for kraut thought but I do like the flavor it gives to ribs and potatoes I just skip the kraut

    This doesn’t look very appetizing at all. I’d rather just mix hotdogs with some cheap pork n beans and pour it over some instant, leftover mashed potatoes or even potato patties with some jiffy corn muffins on the side.

    For fart free beans, after letting them sit in water overnight, boil them 10 minutes and dump the water.
    Replace that water with fresh boiling water and boil another 10 minutes. Drain again and replace with fresh boiling water and cook until done. You add salt and comino or other spices at the beginning of the final boil.
    It strips the pinto bean of a protein that causes gas.

    Thankfully, I was raised on Mexican food. It's cheap and lots of flavor.
    Beans, garlic, comino and Mexican rice and lard is a perfect protein.
    Corn or flour tortillas go well with it.

    Maybe it is a YT glitch or something but when I went back to look at some of your older videos, they go back 6 months only. Hope it is just a glitch, I go back and refer to your videos often when making certain dishes. I rarely comment but always give you a thumbs up. Love your videos.

    I love the "NOTICE" you have posted on what I assume is the side of your refrigerator. You are a kindred spirit. Love your recipes. The one for sausage gravy has been a big hit. Thanks for sharing.
