As a kid I remember my grandma making these for me. I made them but instead of topping I browned them with butter and served them with pork chops. 5 stars! These are exactly like the ones she used to make and my kids loved it as much as I did. Thank you I been searching for this recipe for ever! Its going into my keeper file!
