halleluiah!

this is one of the old goodies my mom made all the time and one of my favorite comfort foods. my oldest son just had a health scare and needless to say I need to help him with healthier recipes than 4 chz mac n cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches for him and also my grandson. None of us were overweight but always were well fed and healthy.

This will fit the bill, thank you.

This makes the best American Chop Suey!

I did not see a yield for this recipe - how many pints or quarts for those wishing to can.

It would also be helpful to know how many pounds of tomatoes are needed.

Great recipe... thanks!

Rebecca, The yield(s) are at the bottom left of the recipe!

Oh my word! My mother who would be well over a 100 used this recipe from the Fanny Farmer Cookbook, and I have used it since I started canning in 1966. It is so versatile that I used to do a hundred quarts a year my children were home and we had a garden. Now done to about 50 pints. Thank you for reprinting your version.

Like Diane, I have always made Garden Special which is in my Boston Cooking School (Fannie Farmer) Cookbook for 1965 but not in my mother's old 1922 or 1941 editions. It is a versatile food, can be in a casserole, soup, stew, or sauce. Glad others can enjoy it.
