About this Recipe:
Substitution: Use whatever you have on hand! One-half cup dry bread crumbs or 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats can be substituted for the 3 slices bread.Do you need dinner on the table a little quicker? Make 6 small loves and bake for 45 minutes or fill muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes.
I have been using this recipe for nearly 30 years. It's one of my favorite 'go to' recipes!
