My mom used to make this and I just added a couple tons extra cheese. Took years to find the exact perfect combo...play with if you wish and add your special touches. Bacon bits are a delicious add as is ham. I took out the extra stick of butter as I think that was a bit much mother...I was a plump child lol. Bare with...this is my first try adding a recipe and me and technology dont see eye to eye. Please feel free to slam my mistakes.
