Comments
Serve with potato balls or mashed potatoes, red cabbage, and green beans with spatzele. Good luck hope you enjoy.

I have made this many times, don't too often only when I have company as it's too much for two people. My fiancee loves it with the potato balls. Old recipe from my Dad, who has passed away. Hope you enjoy it.
