Recipe Introduction


This is a recipe I created to share on a recipe card for Angie, the bride of my son, Tommy. As her new mother-in-law, I felt it my duty to tell her that as long as she serves him Mexican, Italian, Meat & Potatoes and Hamburger Milk Gravy type recipes, he'll remain a happy man.
Serves 6
