Does anyone here make glutch?

:)

A woman I worked with told me she and her sister loved to make glutch when they were teenagers. They'd basically brown some ground beef and throw in things that came out of cans until they had a mixture they liked.

When I was in high school, my favorite version of this was ground beef and Friends red kidney beans.

It's chilly today, and glutch is sounding mighty good for dinner tonight. I have some spicy chicken sausages from Costco, and I got some pinto beans out of the freezer along with some ground turkey. I'm thinking I'll cook those up and maybe add some chilli powder and/or killer Vietnamese hot sauce. Grate some nice Costco cheddar for the top and eat with a homemade whole wheat bun, maybe some sauteed cabbage on the side.

What would you put into glutch?

1. Considering what's on hand here,

out in the boondocks, I'd start with crumbled Omaha Steaks hamburgers, throwing in a LOT of chopped onions, so that they could brown together. Then, I'd toss in some canned corn, some frozen lima beans, some canned black beans, some granulated garlic, some leftover cooked boneless chicken breasts, chopped carrots, some Dingo Spice (a really hot mixture of ground peppers made by a Florida friend), some beer, and some leftover cubed potatoes.

Then, after it simmered for a while, I'd stir in some sour cream, melt some shredded sharp cheddar on top, throw on some chopped Maui onions, and serve with big pieces of corn tortillas.

Sort of a super-dip.

I'm not even hungry, but now my brain is hungry.

Damn you, wryter2000, DAMN YOU!!!!

3. Beer!

Wow, I wish I'd read that before I cooked the stuff. Love the potato idea, too. I still have ingredients. Maybe I'll make some more.

2. Sounds like what we called Scumbolum, (sp?)

Don’t know that I had a favorite, it was never the same twice.

4. LOL

I imagine everyone's done something like this. Great cold weather food.

5. We make something similar we call "gruel"

Browned ground beef or turkey, mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, green chilis and onions served over rice or pasta.

6. Mmmm

Serving it over rice sounds great!

7. Slumgullion

was the name for whatever my mother found in the fridge that she'd throw into a pot and heat up and serve. She wasn't much of a cook, so sometimes it was edible and sometimes it ended up in a Kleenex and fertilized the shrubbery.

10. Slumgullion

That's a great name for it.

8. My kids love this and it really is good.

We brown burger with some onions, mushrooms, whatever on hand--

put in a casserole and dump a can of creamed corn over all,

frost really well and deep with mashed potatoes.

sprinkle on parmesan or paprika, whatever you have.

Bake at 350 until bubbly.

Kind of like a poorman's shepherd's pie, but warm, good and comforting with bread and butter or rolls.

9. That sounds good!

I've never tried shepherd's pie. That version would taste good.
