    The recipe calls for pork and veal in the ingredient list, but halfway through the method, the author suddenly switches to chicken. I’m confused!

    The oven temp is 325 (If using glass dish, 350 for metal). I have been making this for 42 years and it is still a family favorite. Bake it for 1 hour then uncover for 15 to 25 minutes. Enjoy!!
