  • 2 Tbsp. Worstershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Makes about 4 quarts. When grandma put this recipe together, in 1960, it cost her $1.80 to make. I made it in 1980 and it cost $3.28. In 1991, it cost me between $7 and $8.

I do this recipe in the microwave. I cook on high for 2 minutes and stir. Repeat 2 or 3 times. Takes less time and energy.
