This came from a family cookbook. It was originally from a wonderful Texas-based cafeteria specializing in delicious slow-smoked barbecued steak. There were Underwood's all over Texas back in the day, but today the only remaining cafeteria is the original, which is in Brownwood, south of Abilene.

I am so happy to have found your blog! I haven't been to Underwood's since I was a child and I've been craving their cobbler. I've been searching for a recipe that has the right texture and now I have the real deal! Thank you for posting this recipe. -Gwen
