ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and it brought back many memories. My Mom relied heavily on the "I Hate to Cook Book" while I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to make this back in the 1960's when I was a boy. I imagined that in Heaven they would have capsules made of Fritos filled with the other Pedro's Special ingredients.
