This is such a soul food dish. I love it.
Perfect, just what i needed on this rainy day.
My family loved it.
This was very well received by the family. This helped me keep the fat down but it remained creamy and cheesy.
Can I just check something? 18 ounces of cheese….?
1 * 8 oz of cheese. Thanks for pointing out that wasn’t clear.
Simple and delicious. I used 8oz of old cheddar and it was awesome. I used corn(in low fodmap dose and carrots). This was a surprising win for my wife who loves it.
