Hints from Grand

      We like this served over noodles but it is wonderful over rice, creamed potatoes or even toast. It is good with green peas on the side or you can add the peas to the meat mixture for a one dish meal. You can add the raw peas with the onions and the mushrooms and they will cook just fine in with everything else.  The pear salad is just home canned pears with a little mayonnaise and some grated cheese. It is a really quick side you just mix it all together and serve. If you are using store canned pears halves you just top each half with a small amount of mayo and sprinkle with cheese.
