Hi Sean,
RH> I've vague memories of my mom splitting dogs almost in half, stuffing
RH> the slit with left over mashed potatoes, adding some cheese and
RH> browning them in the oven. Very vague memories as she didn't do it when
RH> we got older--most of the time because there weren't any left over (or
RH> enough left over) mashed potatoes. She usually fixed just enough for
RH> the meal; if there was just a dab or so left over, it went to stretch
RH> the dog(s) supper.
SD> I've not tried that...sounds good.
It's a good meal on a budget, especially popular with kids. I'm
thinking another reason we probably didn't have it as us kids grew up is
that we'd probably want 2 dogs each, adding to the expense. Dad insisted
on mashed potatoes (almost) every night for supper but I think having
them for lunch also would have been a bit much. I never fixed it for my
girls/Steve because we didn't do a lot of mashed potatoes. Most often if
we have potatoes, they're baked, or maybe fried or boiled (in potato
salad).
SD> Sean's note: I received this one evening from my friend, Gwendolyn,
SD> online when I asked her what she was making for dinner. This is one
SD> of her favorite "go to" recipes.
Looks quick and easy. I did a basic tuna and noodles a couple of months
ago, first time in some years. Usually I add peas and mushrooms to the
basic tuna, noodles and CoM soup--stretches it a bit and makes it a one
dish meal.

... It works! Now, if only I could remember what I did.
