Notes
Handwritten ‘XX’ in blue ink beside the title (a mark of approval/made it).
Method says to add ‘cheese’ to the skillet with the hamburger even though step 1 says not to add the cheese to the macaroni – as printed.
From a printed recipe (Home for the Holidays (cookbook page; VFW-style cross emblem beside title)) kept in Rosie Lee’s recipe box.
Part of the card is cut off or missing: Bottom of the clipping is at the scan’s bottom edge; last line ‘favorite cornbread.’ is legible. Faint show-through of the reverse side’s print.
