Family Recipe Friday- Sh*t

I am told the story goes that my dear Mother-in-Law, Betty Rotge Custer, came up with this recipe one evening when trying to make something that would feed her rather large family of 7 children and her and dear FIL. After cooking the meal, and preparing to serve it, she asked FIL what he thought of her effort. And his response was, "It looks like Sh*t!"

And thus, it became, forevermore, "Sh*t".
