My Mom mixed bread crumbs with hamburger to make it go further. She said thats what they had to do during the depression. She said they had many meals without any meat and lots of beans and potatoes. One of my favorite meals, is ham & beans with fried corn bread. I was an older teenager before I had a burger without bread mixed in it. I thought that was the way a burger was suppose to taste. Mom & Dad always had a big garden with lots of vegetables. I remember my grandmother growing and cultivating a big garden way into her 80's and she "canned" so she had vegetables during the winter months. When my wife and I went to visit, she loaded us up with fresh vegetables during the summer and canned "stuff" during the winter. Those were the good ol' days!
