Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a spicy change, use 6 oz from a loaf of Mexican prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers instead of the American cheese.
  • tip 2
    Use American cheese in this recipe because it melts better than natural Cheddar and won't curdle during cooking.
