Expert Tips

For a spicy change, use 6 oz from a loaf of Mexican prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers instead of the American cheese.

Use American cheese in this recipe because it melts better than natural Cheddar and won't curdle during cooking.

EXCELLANT,EASY recipe...definately a "down-home" casserole! I followed the directions exactly EXCEPT I didn't have a fresh small onion on hand so I substituted 1/2 tsp. ONION POWDER and a dash of garlic powder(our personal taste)! YUMMY!

I added 2 more tablespoons of butter, dash of nutmeg for a buttery taste and used 1/2 C of half n half w1/C milk and 8 oz of cheese, 6oz in the flour and 2 oz on top so the top got crispy brown, I made this before like it says and did not enjoy it till I tweeked it! Family Loves It!
