Back in the 40's when things were very rough money wise, my grandmother made this for us. It was a favorite of mine then and still is. I made it for my kids and they too love it. This is put as a breakfast dish but we had it for dinner and believe me, it was filling. I have my onstructions geared to novice cooks. So instructions are a little more lenghly than most. When dealing with White sauce, it turns many off. Most would frown on it today due to the calories in the sauce, but I still make it and intend to keep a "Taste of Yesterday" in my life.
