Everyone decided that a cookbook would be a great fundraiser, So they all threw in their favorite recipes into a book and this recipe was one of them. (It has been in the family as long as I have, almost). This could be a main dish – just add about 2 cups of cubed ham and half a soup can of water. We use cheddar cheese.
