Ring Tum Ditty

Southern comfort food from the recipe box of a southern cook. Just the name intrigues me. I had never heard of it and when I researched it, I found many recipes call for it to be put in a baked potato instead of over a piece of toast.

RING TUM DITTY

1/2 bottle ale, beer or porter
3/4 - 1 lb. sharp cheese, cut up or grated
1 can tomato soup
2 beaten eggs
1 large chopped onion
Mustard, salt, cayenne, tobasco, Worcestershire - to taste

Bring the ale or beer to a boil; add cheese, stirring as it melts. At the first sign of stringiness, add the soup. Then add the onion and the beaten eggs. Now add the seasonings. (Some like it hot....some, not so.) When onions are cooked, serve over hot toast.
