Recipe Introduction

This recipe is a family favorite. It is excellent with prime rib or filet mignon. Everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe. This recipe circulated in my neighborhood for many years. Make it the day before, and heat in the oven the day the day of the dinner. Note: Use purchased croutons or make your own & add a little fresh thyme.
