awww---that's sweet......I made a chicken dinner pie for a friend's hubby and 4 children who had to go home as her father was very ill.......when she returned she called and asked for the recipe which was quite simple but she said that they wouldn't eat hers but loved mine........she said thereafter on their birthdays she had to make the chicken dinner pie at their requests.......
many thanks, Betty Crocker, 1972.....you WON'T find this recipe in any current Betty Crocker cookbooks.......

what is recipe for eggplant and beef? Something like Moussaka? My family loves things with eggplant. This has got me curious since you said was a favorite. Is it recipe from this site or just something you made up on your own?

Thanks

Is the one you're talking about made with the pie crusts?? I've made that one numerous times and everyone loves it! I've got the Betty Crocker circa 1969 and my grandmothers' I believe is the very first one. I still use alot of the recipes in there.

Mine isn't in too bad of shape. It's all in one piece. I use it alot.There are alot of great recipes. My mother bought it for me when I first got married 35 years ago. The one I have from my grandmother has the back spine missing but the pages are still intact. The recipes are really something the way they are laid out. I bought one for my dd when she got married 8 yrs. ago.
