1/8 c Dripping or lard*

1 Onion

1 c Oatmeal

-salt and pepper *I would use butter rather than the traditional lard or drippings. Heat dripping till smoking hot and fry onion till it becomes pale brown colour. Add oatmeal and salt and pepper and mix well together. Continue cooking slowly with lid on for about 15 minutes. Serve hot with mashed potatoes.
