I know that means milk, coffee, and beer.
But I initially read it as Milk-Coffee-Beer and thought…
BARF!
Yeah, the spacing didn’t come out quite right on that. I tried to mimic the card. We both know that can be bad.
Pingback: Sunday Supper Soup – from my kitchen to your kitchen
I’ve been making this for years.. found the recipe somewhere.. making it today. Always was a family favorite. Sometimes I’ll add green beans, tweak it and add different seasonings. Sometimes serve with rice or noodles.
I just found this recipe. I have the recipe box but conveniently ( or inconveniently) some of my favorites are missing. Like this one. I made it all the time for my family. Love it. I am so happy to have found it again. Thank you for making that possible.
Yes, thank you so much! I still have the battered card! Finally ditched the “set” but this one is such a favorite with my son and grandson. Son loved it as a teen. I am printing it to have a back up. So many good things get discontinued. I really appreciate your having it online! A note…Jello no longer prints their Lemon Pie recipe on their lemon pie pudding box and someone has it online (the crafty blog stalker. include the word Jello How to make a lemon meringue pie recipe Jello.) Now it’s hard to find Lemon pudding in my supermarket, but you can find it online. So so easy to make and very delicious.
Diane Grubbs, again, PS. Do NOT substitute frozen pre- cooked meatballs!! The savory hand rolled meat balls in this recipe make it all work! Can brown them in two pans to speed up that part.
