Governor Woo

~ Mary ~

Oh where would we be without Governor Woo!?  I got this recipe from my boss when I was the Food Production manager at St Cloud State University.  He came to me with a little newspaper clipping that had seen better days and said “Mary this is my family’s favorite dish – do you suppose you could make it for the kids here?”  We served 5000 meals a day! It doesn’t matter –  it’s a favorite whether made for huge crowds or a dinner for two. It’s one of those fool proof recipes – no matter what you do it’ll always turn out GREAT!
