Creole Smokies

Mom cut this recipe off of one of her Texas Electric Service Bills This is another recipe clipping that Mom collected. I am sure there is one here on Zaar, but I just want to put it here for safe keeping. These are all cut out of magazines and I have no idea which magazine or newspaper they came from. Some are even hand written.
