Times are hard people!  This 1971 Betty Crocker recipe is just the thing you need to save money on food.  Your family probably won’t eat it, but maybe the dog will.

• 1/4 c. sliced onion
• 2 T. shortening
• 2 T. flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 can (16 oz) tomatoes
• 1/2 lb. bologna (can also use Spam if you aren’t involved in the stock market in any way…or honest to goodness ham if you don’t own a home and still have a job!)
• 3/4 c. cooked diced carrots
• 3/4 c. cooked cut green beans
• Bologna Biscuit dough (recipe below)

Heat oven to 425.  In large skillet, cook and stir onion in shortening until tender.  Remove from heat.  Stir in flour, salt and pepper.  Cook over low heat, stirring until mixture is bubbly.  Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes.  Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.  Boil and stir one minute.  Stir in bologna, carrots and beans.  Heat to boiling.

Pour into ungreased baking pan, 8×8x2 inches; place in oven.  Prepare bologna biscuit dough; drop 8 or 9 tablespoonfuls on hot vegetable mixture.  Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.  Season with your own tears.  Serves 5.

Bologna Biscuit Dough

• 1 cup all purpose flour (the recipe calls for Gold Medal flour, but you can’t afford that if you are making this.)
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 T. shortening
• 1/4 lb. bologna, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
• 1/4 c. milk

Measure dry ingredients into bowl.  Cut in shortening until mixture looks like meal.  Stir in bologna and milk.
