What a great refreshing slaw recipe. Instead of chopping my apples and carrot, I julienned them. Like other reviewers, I reduced the amount of sugar. I also added some raisins. I waited to dress the slaw just before serving to reduce that "watery" consistency it sometimes gets. I served this along side Apple/Maple Turkey burgers and Sweet Potato Fries. What a wonderful meal. I will definately make this again.

These were great yams. I have been making sweet potato casseroles for years, but not the candied variety. It was a nice change of pace. I did however make some changes. For those who said or were concerned about them being "watery or soupy", here is a solution. The canned yams need to be dried. You can "dry" them by draining them and putting them on a lightly greased sheet pan. Put them in a 200 degree oven for 1 hour. Now put them in a casserole dish. I sprinkled mine with a light dusting of cinnamon. I then put pea size dots of butter over them. I didn't use the required amount of butter stated...it was too much for my taste. I sprinkled about 1 tbs. of white sugar over the cinnamon and butter. I then spread the brown sugar over it and baked according to directions. It came out great and not too sweet. It had a sticky (not watery) glaze on it like I remembered them to have. I didn't use the marshmallows. I will save those for my sweet potato casserole. I will definately make these again.

This was a simple economical meal. My dad used to fix this when I was little. He ate it quite a bit when he was in the Army. I, like other reviewers seasoned the meat, and added onion and garlic. I actually made the "creamed gravy" seperate, and then added the meat to it. I served mine over homemade biscuits with a side of steamed peas. Dad usually served ours on toast points and occasionally on biscuits. I had to laugh when I saw the SOS. I wander if it stands for what I think it stands for? Thanks for a simple recipe that takes me back.
