Submitted by Chef Boy of Dees

"I got this recipe from M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved. (what and where I don't know) The main change for my taste (because we don't eat Pork), was to make it all ground beef, but you can certainly use as directed or mix veal or some other type of meat."
