This was a recipe that they used to serve at Wednesday night suppers sometimes at the church where I grew up. Of course they made huge batches, but this is the closest I could get. They were so sweet....they knew as my mom grew older she couldn't tolerate onions or any kind, and always made her a portion without the green onions instead of just giving her plain peas.
