Updated on Oct 30, 2011

This wonderful recipe was taught to me by my mother-in-law back when I was a newlywed. Besides being a super economical dish it is both delicious and filling. My children would ask for it. We have all been gone through some lean times and this dish came through for me. Accompanied with a simple salad it makes for a satisfying and great dinner meal. My children would beg for the left overs warmed up the next day. They would put a little ketchup on it and would clean their plates. Try this great side dish that can be eaten as a main course. Enjoy
