This was a must have in our house growing up with many different meals. It showed up with meatloaf, pork chops, Salisbury steak and patties my mom used to make with ground beef that she covered with condensed tomato soup. We all loved it, and my sisters and I still make it when we don't have time for more complicated corn puddings or souffles.
