My family is Mormon, and we have been making this recipe for Generations! It's great for large Church gatherings, funerals (just double the recipe) or just a quiet family dinner. You can adjust the recipe to your needs.. can be made ahead of time and left in the refrigerator till ready to bake. it saves well, it freezes great, and it's very tasty, add a salad some buttered rolls and enjoy

I've been cooking for years, I used to be a chef for Marriott, I worked in the design center for Mattel Toys as the head cook, worked at a religious retreat center in Palos Verdes California, catered weddings, Museum openings, college campus events got tired of the hustle bustle move this move that, always on a time crunch, so I moved over to American Sign Language interpreting, then I started having many problems with my back and after many many operations from the top of my spine to the bottom of my spine shoulders well basically almost every body part... now I sit home and enjoy old movies, and collecting recipes from you all...

I have actually tried it both ways, not draining the grease does give it that yummy, rich flavor......BUT WOW, do you PACK and the extra calories, but yummy yummy yummy, and of course tweak it the way you want it tweaked it the way your family likes it. We don't like too much of the sour cream so we decrease it, your family likes it increased it, just try and enjoy it
