Louise Guhl (Louise was Seymour's sister) gave me this recipe. Louis was an excellent cook. She won the Betty Crocker Bake-Off one year. We have a picture of her getting a new stove from GE, and to give her the very special apron was none-other than Ronald Reagan, who was the spokesman GE, the sponsor of that year's event.

There are a thousand variations of this recipe that also work well. Seymour's mother used a whole cup of butter and added heavy cream instead of 2% milk. The slow cooking makes a candy coating around the sides of the casserole that the kids would fight over. Delicious!
