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).

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.
