Special Notes
Supposedly invented by Teresa's “Grandma Ghe” (Cindy's Great-Grandma) during the depression with government rations. This recipe should serve 6-8 people and is always good reheated (especially in a frying pan). Go easy on butter, greases, and oils as these will settle in the bottom of the dish and make the whole thing a bit soggy.
