This is a hearty wonderful dish. I have made a variation of this from an old Pennsylvania shaker recipe with grated cheddar and cooked, crumbled streaky bacon stirred in with a few crumbs of bacon sprinkled over the top. I can see why this would only need a side of pickled beets or red cabbage. A keeper for sure.
