Premiering in 1980, Cookin' Cheap was a staple on Blue Ridge PBS for more than 20 years. This comedy cooking show was served up lots of laughs and interesting dishes.   Periodically, we'll share a favorite recipe here from the show.  

This recipe with an unusual name is from season 18 in 1998. It was sent in by Mary Johnson of Madison Heights, Virginia
