This is an old family recipe from my children's great grandmother (gram aka maude jackson :-)). family legend has it that this recipe was passed down to her from an uncle who fed railroad crews as they built the lines. he had run out of most supplies and had to come up with something hearty enough to feed a bunch of very hungry workmen...this is what he came up with. we love it!!
