This is one of my Momma's dishes , I have no idea why she called them this. I have changed the sauce around different than they way mom did her sauce but there good !!! This is a main dish recipe. If you like green beans and spaghetti sauce you will love this dish , I've always served it with fried potatoes. A family Favorite ! You can use your own family spaghetti sauce instead of mine.
