                <text>This is an interesting collection in a very cool old, weathered metal box.  I’ve captured the handwritten and typed recipes along with a small few of the printed cards.  This collection really runs the gamut from doughnuts to cocktails with lots of casseroles and baked goods.  There are a few in here that I’ll definitely be trying out.  Though, while it’s my favorite recipe in the batch, I can’t say that I’m eager to try out 'Welch’s Grape Egg Nog'.</text>

# Thrifty Meat Scallop

## Ingredients

- 2 cans spaghetti in tomato sauce (Franco-American or similar — see Editor's Notes)
- 1 1/2 cups leftover beef, ham, corned beef, or combination, chopped or ground
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Buttered bread crumbs (for topping)

## Instructions

1. Chop or grind leftover meat and combine with salt and pepper.
2. In a shallow greased baking dish, arrange alternating layers of canned spaghetti and seasoned meat, finishing with a spaghetti layer on top.
3. Cover with buttered bread crumbs.
4. Bake at 375°F for approximately 20 minutes, until heated through and crumbs are lightly browned.
5. Serve with fried apple rings.

## Editor's Notes

- **"Canned spaghetti"** = spaghetti in tomato sauce, noodles and sauce together. Franco-American Spaghetti was the dominant period brand; Chef Boyardee is the modern equivalent.
- **"Hot oven 275"** on original card is almost certainly an error — 275°F is not a hot oven by any period definition. Hot oven typically means 400-425°F in mid-century terminology; 375°F recommended as a conservative correction that heats through without overcooking.</text>
