We Actually Ate This As Kids? Gross

I grew up not having much money. Like, hardly at all. It was my mom, my brother and myself. Mom got creative with dinner and made meals that were good then but thinking about them now makes me gag. Have you ever eaten any of these disgusting combinations?

"Tawsha! Ryan! Dinner is ready!" - Mom. I would set my Barbies aside and my brother would choose just one toy to keep in his hand the whole way through the meal. We would sit down at the table in front of a plate with this soupy, lumpy gravy poured over two pieces of toast. Mom called it "Hamburger gravy on toast." It's technically called "S**t on a Shingle".

Wanna know how to make it? I know I'm not the only one who ate this because whenever I bring it up, at least one person tells me they ate the same thing.

Think of me and my poor childhood
