I just made this recipe tonight from my 1941 New American Cook Book. I could just picture a family from 1941 sitting around the supper table enjoying this together. I imagine that people in this era liked time-saving meals too, because this was very, very easy and also very tasty. I think that this would be a great recipe for kids and a wonderful weeknight recipe. I'll definitely be making it again.
