At first glance, this seems like an odd combination of ingredients, but the result is absolutely delicious. My mom made this main dish when we five kids were growing up. At the end of the meal, the table was surrounded by satisfied smiles and piled high with bare rib bones. -Leslie Picard, Salmon Arm, British Columbia

I made these for our 4th of July cookout They were awesome and the first of the potluck cookout items to go. The only thing I did different was when simmering them I added garlic as I like it. Definitely will make these again
