Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Glen Potter is not a picky eater; guess he has learned through the years that it's best to eat whatever is there and be thankful for it. Growing up as one of eleven children in the household, you ate what was there. After marrying into this family I found our his mother cooked a pot of "soup beans" EVERY day. She also made biscuits 3 times a day from "scratch". I tried them a few times and Glen asked why mine all were different sizes and shapes when his mother's were all identical. He also stated that those in the "whop" cans at the store were just as good; I never made them again. I agreed with him, those in the can are just as good! NOT! But he never asked for "homemade" again. This casserole is probably Glen's most favorite food!
