Yeah, I finally came across a dinner recipe of Grammie's. I hope to find a few more hidden in the pages of her cookbooks but for now this is a classic dish that so many enjoy. I will look forward to making it and having it for dinner soon. 3/21/2012 --- Made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious. I cooked it in a small glass pan so the sauce came up half way in the dish and I basted it about every 15 to 20 minutes. I had enough sauce that I just drizzled it over some steamed potatoes and sliced meatloaf too. Yumm!!! Hope you enjoy.
