Here is one that was old when I learned it 40 years ago:

Dinner In A Dish

Simple comfort food; it was the first recipe I learned.

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can corn
1 cup bread crumbs
1 stick butter

Method:

Saute beef and diced onion in a 4 quart Dutch Oven until beef is browned.
Add tomatoes and corn. Simmer briefly, add salt and pepper to taste.

If your Dutch Oven is oven proof you can keep the contents in it. For better presentation transfer contents to a casserole dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top, drizzle melted butter evenly over bread crumbs.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown.

This is the basic old form of this recipe, but variations abound. Sometimes I add a can of white hominy to add more body or use Ro-Tel tomatoes for heat. You can also add cooked rice or pasta to the mix. The variations are endless.

Kids love this economical meal if they try it in the first place. I had resistance in the 80s from my son till I called it "He-man Stew." After that it was his favorite dish. To get the same result today I suppose you would have to call it Sponge Bob Stew.
