Expert Tips

Make it easy! Purchase shredded cheese at the grocery store instead of shredding your own.

    I added chopped green onions, cheese and garlic croutons, crushed. Crumbled bacon and broccoli...and it turned out to be an awesome dish!

    I added sun-dried tomatoes and onions to this recipe, as suggested by another reviewer and used some left-over ham (not deli ham). Also, I did not have straight Colby cheese...I used a mixture of Colby and mozzerella (sp?). My husband said it was one of the best dinners I had cooked for him. We will definitely be having this again.

    First up I doubled recipe so as to use the entire 1 lb box of ziti, so instead of 2 cups Colby I needed 4 cups but I did not have any Colby cheese but I did have extra odds and ends of differant cheeses from a party we just had. So I used 2 cups mixture of differant irish cheeses ie. Irish Cheddar, irish cheese with spinach, also used about 1-1/2 cup regular shredded cheddar cheesea, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarrella cheese. OMG absolutely delicious...use whatever you have and be adventerous if it seems like it may be too strong modify it with a more bland cheese like me I used Mozzarella. This was so good I dont know if I will even use the real recipe with the Colby Cheese unless I only have that in the fridge.
