This is not the kind of dish where exact measures are needed. You need enough material to fill a baking dish large enough for your family. Use what you have on hand. Suppose you find in the pantry some pieces of cold meat, - perhaps of more than one kind, stale bread, stewed tomato, canned or fresh. Make as follows : a. Grease a baking dish.

b. Cut the meat in small pieces or chop or grind it.

c. Crumb the bread.

d. Put a layer of crumbs in the bottom of the dish, then a layer of meat, and a layer of tomato. Sprinkle on a little salt. Put in another layer of bread and so on until the dish is full, having the crumbs on top. Moisten the top layer of crumbs with tomato juice or water, and put on it a few bits of butter, or a little suet, or beef fat tried out.

e. Heat and brown in the oven.

The dish can be made without tomato. Then water or gravy will be needed to moisten it.
