I made this up to the point where it says to microwave it. I put mine in the oven, covered with foil, at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, just to heat and melt the cheese. I served it at a "Feed My People" ministry that I belong to, and everyone loved it. My daughter was a little disappointed that I didn't make any for her, so, out came the pots and pans again! Enjoy!
