There’s a reason Taste of Home is the largest-selling cooking magazine in the country.
It’s filled with the kind of everyday, uncomplicated recipes that we all use.
While other magazines may tout organic greens and grass-fed beef, Taste of Home doesn’t apologize for the can of cream of mushroom soup, pouch of shredded cheddar cheese or other basic grocery store ingredients that are common to its recipes.
It’s that attitude that makes the brand’s cookbooks so popular.
The latest book, “Taste of Home Recipes Across America,” is now on store shelves. With more than 735 recipes submitted by readers, it’s a large compilation of regional favorites from across the country, including this recipe.
This is great for an easy supper or for taking to a tailgate party.
Free to substitute ham or any other Italian meats such as capicola or mortadella.
