My dad used to make what he called "Trash Hash". He probably still makes it, much to my mother's chagrin.

TRASH HASH
1 lb ground beef, browned & drained
Frozen or canned corn, heated
Enough mashed potatoes to feed your family

Mix corn & beef. Put mashed potatoes in center of plate. Cover with the beef/corn mixture. Smother with ketchup. Add salt & pepper to taste. Enjoy!*
*All recipes must end with "Enjoy". It's a culinary law.

This is serious comfort food for me. I'm a foodie, having lived and learned to cook in France... and yet something makes me want to have this for dinner!!

Ok, I saw these at their internet site (the books) and then I went to Alibris Books (used books - VERY cheap)

I just order the first two volumes for 1.99 each (plus like 3.98 shipping each).

Can't wait til they get here.

I get tons of books from here (I know it's off topic, but the cookbooks and other cookbooks are here, too -)

I rarely pay more than 1.99 per book - sometimes a harder to find book costs more, though.

Peace -
