[Just another Joe]

OK, you asked for it.
A few years back I was working as a desktop PC repair technician. My lovely wife was working as the dairy department manager at a local supermarket. My hours were normal 8-5. Her hours were 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
This meant that I had to cook dinner for the kids every night.
The kids got home one day as I was trying this recipe for the first time. One of them said something to the effect of, "Poor Dad, he's got to cook dinner again."
I looked up and said, "That's right, we're having Poor Dad Casserole tonight."
And THAT is how Poor Dad's Casserole came to have the name.

"Poor dad." LOL That's a great sound bite but not for an election. Mercenary Maid
