This is very good and easy to make. It comes from my 1981 cookbook Favorite Brand Name Recipes . I have been making this for years. It is a favorite of my family. Please note that I alter some of the ingredients to my taste. I usually add more parsley, oregano, garlic powder, so alter to your taste. Enjoy! Ingredients:
