My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. Its from a diabetic cookbook Every time I make it, I get compliments. Hope you enjoy it! One other thing, prep time is according to how fast you get everything together. I state here that cook time is 1 hr 30 mins. That's 30 from prep to end of time in skillet browning. 1 hr in oven.
