This is a wonderful recipe for the ULTIMATE in comfort food. I cut the recipe in half and used Kraft Classic Melts 4 Cheese in the recipe. Absolutely will put this into our regular dinner rotation. Next time I may add a little Louisiana Hot Sauce for a little kick. I made this to serve with Brats on the grill, green beans with onions and steamed carrots. Dinner was very filling. DH gave his thumb up (between forkfuls). Thanks for sharing a truly great recipe!!!

I am the proud great-grandmother of four. I love to cook and never tire of looking for good recipes. Needless to say, on Zaar there's many great ones. I've been cooking for my next door neighbor and best friend, Curt, for several years now. He is such a good sport for letting me experiment on him. ;) He will be helping me with any reviews.
A big thank you in advance to those who have tried one of my recipes.
