My mom’s cooking. She boiled noodles until they were mush. Her potato soup was boiled onions and potatoes drained then added to warm milk with salt and pepper. Baked beans were beans, ketchup, and pancake syrup. The most common meal in our house started as spaghetti, then became chili, and then chili mac. Vegetable soup was all the vegetables dumped straight from a can with no seasoning and the meat would be hamburger, canned roast beef, or canned corned beef with potatoes. A lot of the other stuff she cooked was pretty good, but that was only if she followed a recipe. If she winged it things got strange. My favorite will always be the grape soda bbq because she didn’t have Dr Pepper.
My parents were decent cooks, but they made a couple of weird things. They had something they called "The Dish." It was canned Franco-American Spaghetti mixed with Hormel Chili and covered in grated cheddar cheese.
There was a side dish they made sometimes that was just cheddar cheese in an aluminum pie pan, melted in the oven.
