 Simone Parrish (Maryland) says:
I love this recipe, even though it's quite 1950's middle-America. It was in my grandmother's church cookbook from the 1950s ("Fellowship Favorites"), and it's my family's major comfort food. It's the only reason I ever buy canned mushrooms. Steamed broccoli makes a great side.
