This is an old fashioned recipe fitted for a modern appliance, and one that continues to be one of our favorites!

As I begin to write this post we are preparing for Hurricane Harvey which is coming to our gulf coast in less than 24 hours. We are far enough inland that we will only be getting lots of rain and maybe some high winds or tornado's. Right now the weather service says that it will be a category 4 hurricane, with a possible 35 inches of rain. Keeping the weather in mind, I will be making some  meal plans this week that will be very comforting during the storm. I always take the weather into consideration when planning meals, I sure don't want to plan a cookout if it will be pouring down rain. If you are along the coast this weekend, may God be with you, and stay safe.

At that time we just cooked it on top of the stove and I am sure you could still do that, but today it is just easier to put it in the Slow Cooker.
