100% would make again

Meet the Cook: There were seven of us children when I was a girl, and I was the second oldest. I began cooking as soon as I could reach the stove and stir a pot. I'm a widow, so I usually make this for large gatherings. It's so quick and easy. The recipe was given to me when my husband and I were caring for foster children who enjoyed beef dishes. I've been fixing it ever since. -Shirley Max, Cape Girardeau, Missouri

This is a great recipe. Reminds me of stuffed cabbage and it's easier to make. Great for potlucks.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I like to make them at Halloween, and tell the kids they're "eyeballs".
