"This is my friend Monica's recipe. It is true comfort food. It makes a ton so I usually freeze half. She also uses the cheddar blend when she makes it, says it has a better flavor."

The recipe is missing a few key things. It says "add flour" but there is no listing of flour in the ingrediants so I had to guess... also it says "butter, divided" but then it doesnt tell you how much butter is going in the first time or where the second amount of butter goes...
