Directions
This is an old recipe with 1/4 instead of 1/2 cup of oil and 1 cup of water plus one cup of milk to reduce the fat content instead of two cups of milk.

Good with greens, cabbage, beans, chili, soup, etc. Turns a simple dish into a meal.

You can see from the photo that these slices are large double servings. A single serving is half that size. This photo was taken after my family of five had taken their servings!
