This is one of my 'go to' recipes and has been for 40 years! I always hear yummm from the first bite and everyone loves it. I have no idea where it came from but I have had it forever. This is the recipe in the photo and you can tell how used it is. My kids were raised on this recipe and we all sat down at the table as a family and we were all happy we came home to eat some. If desired you can add fire roasted salsa to kick it up.
