This is another recipe from my dad, L McDonald. Every time you went to visit this was set on the table with crackers. My dad was always feeding us no matter if you were hungry or not. He use to go camping every year for a month, and stock up on blue back’s. At the bottom of my recipe he has “call dad for help” with his phone number.
