10. **Note: this is not a spicy dish. If you like your food to be spicy feel free to add hot sauce, peppers, celery, etc to your liking. I serve this dish to older relatives when they come to visit and take it to potlucks where it disappears quickly. Simple, old fashioned comfort food. Feel free to adjust to your taste.
