Introduction: Recipe #1 COMMOD HASH In today's economy recipes become what is available in your very own cupboard. I have found more and more ways to come up with meals from the food I have already when I am unable to buy more. I am a stay at home Mom blessed with 5 amazing children! I want to share this art with everyone, so that you can feed your family delightful meals on the budget you have. Your taste buds will be surprisingly HAPPY! Most of my recipes will NOT contain measurements due to what you/I have available and due to your liking. Possibilities are endless. Some of your very own cooking artistry is needed. Enjoy! I want to start off with a recipe that I, temporarily, grew up on. At one time, my family received commodity foods (free government food from a warehouse)and that is how this became a family favorite. We called it: "Commod Hash" Food Ingredients- 1. Eggs (powdered or fresh) (prepare with milk* or water-works just fine when you have no milk) 2. Cheese (American, or ANY available/to your liking) 3. Meat (IF any available, we used bacon, but lunch-meats, e.g. ham, or left over meats cut up, e.g. steak, work great,too) 4. Potatoes (fresh, canned, or even Last dinners french fries or tator tots work awesome, as well) Cook- Heat skillet pan on medium heat for a few minutes. If cooking with bacon, put in oven at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, flip after 10 minutes, before starting the other parts. Scramble eggs with milk* in a bowl. If cooking with fresh potatoes, slice those and put in pan and brown both sides lightly before egg mixture, if canned, fries or tator tots, put eggs first. Now add meat. Use spatula to toss eggs and other ingredients over and over as you do to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Once the mixture is cooked to your liking turn heat off add cheese and cover for one minute to melt the cheese nicely. Some topping options: Add salt, pepper, bacon bits, taco sauce or any hot sauce you may like. Some other ingredient options: onions, scallions, bell peppers, hot peppers; any of these options diced up. ENJOY!!! ***I will be periodically adding "make-shift meals", so be sure to come back to get inspired for other meals!!***
