Tried and True Memories

I made a meal today for the family of a friend who's dad passed away. Whenever I want a recipe I can count on, I pull out my 'tried and true' recipe book. Don't you just love the old standbys that you know will never fail you? 

I recently shared one with a couple of ladies who tried it said they loved it. I believe the words were scrumptious, yum, and so good. 

I thought I would post it here on my blog to give credit to my mom who passed it down to me. I don't know if it was her recipe originally but it has been in our family for 40 plus years and my first experience with it was at the holiday dinners at my mom and dad's house. So whenever I make it, I can't help but think of mom. I know she would be happy to know folks are still making this recipe and enjoying it.
