Awesome recipe Miss Fannie. I enjoyed this delicious dish very much. It was quick and easy to make with excellent results. This dish is the best comfort dish, very very satisfying. Thank you for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again and again. Made as written, except for the breadcrumbs use soft rather than dried, (personal preference only) Made for What's on the Menu Tag Game.
