The first time I remember seeing this recipe was in a old Pillsbury Cook Off Pamphlet cookbook. The recipe was submitted by an expectant mother and she won the Cook Off that year.

Recipe can easily be halved…Let your bread go stale just to make this!!   This is one of those dishes everyone will ask you for the recipe
