ELLEN'S ROAST BEEF MANHATTAN image

A few days ago somebody was talking about old-fashioned meals and the subject of beef Manhattans came up. I used to love them in the school cafeteria but I had never made one. I figured it couldn't be too hard. With a little of this and a little of that, here is what I came up with. Delicious! 10-28-2018
