We got this recipe from a restaurant cook who lived in the duplex beside my mother-in-law. It was one of his favorites. It’s easy to make, tastes fantastic and freezes well. Both my mother-in-law and her neighbor are gone now, but this recipe always brings back happy memories! —Monika Rahn, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania
