“I found this recipe in a magazine. John Wayne was my Daddy’s favorite cowboy, so this quickly became one of his favorite dishes for me to make for him. I like to serve it when I make a pot of pinto beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread. Add some slices of onion, some chow chow and you have a good old “country dinner”! Hint: I add a chopped fresh jalapeno and /or green onion to make it spicy.”
