Personal Notes:
This was Grandma Chetister's (Luella) recipe. Mom told me this was Uncle Jim's (Dad Chetister's brother) favorite and whenever he came to Virginia for a visit she always made this for him.

Back in the day Mom would add cubed pork and veal. As the years have passed the cubed pork and veal have become difficult to find and not very cost effective so we only use beef now.
