So many of you were excited to see more of our new cookbook, Dinners on a Dime, and here at Gooseberry Patch, we aim to please. Here's another delicious (and inexpensive) recipe found on page 153...it makes not just one but TWO hearty dinners!
Amy Steiner of Delta, Pennsylvania sent us her Grandma's recipe with this note:
My grandmother was quite the penny pincher...so much so that she even made a notation at the top of this recipe card that it only cost eight dollars to make! Nowadays it costs a little more, but since it makes two big casserole dishes, it's still economical.
Thanks again, Amy...we hope you're enjoying your free copy of the book!
