If you Google the phrase "Depression Dinner" you will find various recipes, most include ground beef, for a meal with this title. The Depression Dinner recipe I found in the Our Favorite Recipes cookbook written by the Order of the Eastern Star, Towson Chapter (n.d., page 81) includes some canned foods. This would be a pretty inexpensive meal, probably costing under $5.00 to make if you were to do so today.
Have you come across any recipes called "Depression Dinner?" Have you made any of these recipes?
