Personal Notes:
This recipe was my maternal grandmother’s (Wini Hughes and my mother Pat Samford made this for us all the time) It is a favorite! It appeared in the January 18, 1979 issue of the Sylvester Local in Wini’s Cooking School column.

When you are in a rush, you can use a good, organic spaghetti sauce instead of the homemade sauce above. Still add the Worcestershire sauce though.
