This is another recipe in the Mrs. Stutzman series. I have a couple of more that this talented Amish cook in Ohio sent us, so I'll be sharing them in the weeks ahead. This sounds like a perfect weekend recipe. This recipe seems to be popular in Amish kitchens, although I am not sure why it is called "Underground."
Mrs. Stutzman suggests the following variation:
"Instead of ham, use pre-cooked chicken breast and also precooked (not too soft) broccoli and cauliflower. Delicious!"

Hi Kevin
Even before I read your article on the Shakers I have been on your website before and really enjoyed it.
After reading the Al Jazeera article on the Shakers I have to tell you that Arnold really pulled the wool over your eyes. Or maybe not maybe you could see through him.
I once lived with the Shakers 2005 - 2007. I left because I could not bear to live with Arnold or Francis any longer. The abuse I suffered at their hands was totally out of context of the Shaker life I had studied since I was 12 and when I went to live with them I was 48.
I will always enjoy your Amish website but your article on the Shakers only perpetuates the Shaker brand as Arnold and Francis have created.
Most sincerely,
Karen
