NOTES : "This tasty dish really made a big hit with Cliff and my daughter-in-law, Pam. I loved it too. Three out of three isn't bad, is it?"
Jeanette's Notes: I used fresh parsley (about 2 Tablespoons) and used regular tomato sauce. I also made the potatoes and green beans with liquid smoke. They sure were good with diet margarine and salt and pepper.
