Yeah my family is from the Midwest. On my mom's side we're 4th gen Norwegians who founded a town in Kansas (pretty sure it's Kansas). They arrived just before the depression and I'm pretty sure my family's legacy of bland cooking is partly a result from that and our Norwegian heritage. We still make kumla every year. Good stuff (minus the canned veggies. Seriously Midwest, it's ok to use fresh vegetables)

Kumla looks pretty good. Now I really wish I had picked up lingonberries when I was at IKEA last weekend. Unfortunately I decided I didn’t know what I’d do with them. Now I know

Oh boy, kumla looks good!

So funny Midwestern farmers of all used canned veggies. But I can understand. Put yourself into Mom's shoes at the time, 10 seconds to open a can, VS an hour to clean/chop/cook a veggie.

I highly recommend giving kumla a try! It's very filling and will probably leave you a couple pounds heavier (don't be shy with the butter). On the vegetable note, I can see it as a practical measure but some things are worth the extra effort imo
