"This is a recipe which I came upon when I joined my husband's family. It's so popular and I'm on the verge of making little spice packets I can just throw in with the rest of the ingredients. I'm not sure if there's someone out there with the original idea for this dish, but we have modified it quite a bit for personal taste...."
