This recipe was quite good. My husband was pleased with it and requested that I keep it to make again. Plan to make it for summer picnics as well. I did not have chili sauce on hand so substituted cocktail sauce and a bit of chili powder. Next time I will try the chili sauce to see what difference it makes.

This recipe was a hit at Mom's house. I doubled the recipe, used cocktail sauce (because that is what I had), skipped the lettuce (because I didn't have any) and added extra tomatoes (grape tomatoes so that I didn't have to cut them up). A lot of extra tomatoes. Actually too many tomatoes, I got carried away. Some of the kids even liked this one and Mom kept a copy of the recipe. Good stuff. I will be making this again.
