Plum Cobbler

This old-fashioned plum cobbler was passed down to me from my grandmother, with a modification of using baking mix instead of making the top from scratch. I serve it with ice cream or what I call a dip made from milk and flavored to taste with cinnamon and vanilla. I let each individual pour on the amount of dip they would like from a small pitcher.

I made this dish for a party, and everyone couldn't stop talking about it. The ratio of meat, cheese, and veggies can be adjusted to taste.
