My mother makes this for us when she visits since it is something she can make in bulk and it freezes really well. However, it usually is an all-day process since she makes enough for like 50 people (think Italian heritage), she lets it stew for a while, and also uses up all these different pans and huge pots. I’ve adapted her recipe to be working-mom friendly — so this may be hit or miss (would like your opinion please). Ideally you would like to get all the ingredients together and chop/slice the night before. This takes some time and best for you to start with the prepared ingredients while your kids are screaming and hanging on your work clothes. This recipe adapted from one submitted by Mama L from Bensalem, PA (thanks Mom).
