this is a long-time favorite recipe of our lancaster county, pa family passed down from my mom. she gets requests for it all the time and has to make double or triple this amount now whenever she makes it so everyone has some to take along home too. for me, it's a true comfort food if there ever was one! we always serve it over toast and/or homefried potatoes. my dad refer's to it as s.o.s. from his days in the service. (recipe makes about 4 servings for our hungry family but it freezes very well so any leftovers won't go to waste.)
