This was a dish my mother, Evelyn, used to fix with meat, when we would go to visit them with my family in Vail, Arizona.  She would make a vegetarian version, since we were vegetarian back then!

Cooking for teenagers, they love the simplicity of basic foods so I make this for them and they love it!
