This is an extremely easy, fast and cheap recipe. I just did it and was again surprised, that it took less than 30min, including cutting and cooking, from the fridge into the bowls.
It's a recipe of my mom's old cook book, which almost falls apart, since it's from good old GDR times ;). Originally it's supposed to contain leftover meat, which has to be cooked long, or intestines, you won't eat otherwise. My mom altered it into a nice fashioned, anytime doable meal. We made a lot, either just for us or in big quantities, which is also straight forward.
You just need a few ingredients, and with a twist you can do it all in one pot: I simply fry the stuff in a deep soup pan and add hot water from a kettle. If you don't have one, fry everything in a pan, boil water in the pot and add it.
Cut and fry 200g onions, 100g Bacon and 2 cloves garlic in a deep soup pan (at least 3l). Meanwhile cut 500g of big Hot Dog sausage* in stripes and dice a few gherkins. Add a tablespoon of paprika spice, 100g ketchup, gherkins and the meat to the pan. Mix and fry everything for a minute. Add 1.5l hot water and according amount of instant vegetable bouillon (usually a tablespoon per half liter). Bring it to a boil, add dill, salt, pepper and juice from half a lemon. It's ready for serving. Add a spoon of sour cream in the bowl, it gives a nice coloring when you mix it while eating :).
*We discussed long how to describe this sausage. It's like Hot Dog meat, pressed white meat. Usually bought in 500g or 1kg packages. It's one of the cheapest meats in the supermarket, but if you can't find it, other sausages will do the trick, too.
