This is one of those great recipes from back in the day. It seems to originate in the Midwest in the early 80s. A version of the recipe (there are several versions) was printed in the 1984 Cookbook of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in South Dakota.
And guess what? It’s really good! My husband says it’s one of his favorite things I make!
