The ABC of Cooking

by Adelin Balch Coit

6 onions
1 can tomatoes
1 can corn
1 dozen potatoes, washed and peeled and cut into pieces.
Couple of pounds of any meat (either cooked or uncooked)
Some salt and pepper, and then add 2 quarts of water.

Let all this stew for an hour, slowly.

CANNED CORNED BEEF HASH

1 cup of chopped or cut-fine corned beef, to 2 cups of chopped or cut-fine potatoes (either raw or cooked) with a little milk or water to moisten it, and some butter to make it taste good. Cook in a hot frying pan, with either bacon, or salt pork to keep from sticking.

You can make hash of any kind of cold meat and potatoes and a little butter. If you have any fresh meat, chop or cut it up, add potatoes and some onions, and a can of tomatoes, salt and pepper, and it will be lovely mess.

(Onions or not, as you like.)

HOW TO FRY MEATS

Put a small amount of grease in the frying pan, or salt pork, and when quite hot put in the steak. If the steak is about half inch thick, fry for about 1 minute before turning. Salt and pepper to taste.

Beef, veal, pork and mutton can be done in the same way.
