This recipe was developed many years ago when, as a Navy wife, I often ha
d to use the lowest price food and still get nutritional and good-tasting meals
prepared. We still love this and often have it served with our favorite dishes
of homemade coleslaw, biscuits made with cheddar cheese and wheat germ, and so
me fresh crisp apple slices.
