I followed others suggestions by adding an egg and more applesauce but also added 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of salt. I also sprinkled dark chocolate chips on top.
I used what I had on hand, and like so many others adapted it to my preferences. Used cuban bread I'd had in the fridge forever, half and half and millk, added another egg, reduced the brown sugar to 1 3/4 cups, and instead of the butterscotch chips I used 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips and a large handful of shredded coconut! It was divine! Again, husband loved it!
This was real easy and quite tasty. I added more fruit. I used plums , peaches and blueberries, all fresh. I also added a little cardamom and cinnamon. It was a little "oily", as one reviewer wrote, when first out of the oven, but I don't think you can cut it down very much, and it was even better after being in the fridge a few days and then reheated. My husband loved it.
I used this recipe this evening but used more crushed pineapple ( I had leftovers from a 20 oz. can) and two packages of pudding - coconut and vanilla. I also mixed in some frozen whipped topping. I used a chocolate cookie crust pie shell. When it was chilled I drizzled homemade chocolate sauce over it. Delicious!
I agree with magicshark. We grew up calling this New England Boiled Dinner. Always used a smoked shoulder but did not put green beans in it. The leftovers were indeed made into "red flannel hash" and the bone and broth were then used for bean soup. What memories! I still make it for special family get togethers.
