This recipe was developed many years ago when, as a Navy wife, I often had to use the lowest price food and still get nutritional and good-tasting meals prepared. We still love this and often have it served with our favorite dishes of homemade coleslaw, biscuits made with cheddar cheese and wheat germ, and some fresh crisp apple slices.
