Introduction

For this recipe I just put stuff together that I already had in my kitchen. Easy, cheesy and good on a cold night.

You can substitute chicken for the ground beef and use lower sodium seasonings for a more health-conscious meal. For this recipe I just put stuff together that I already had in my kitchen. Easy, cheesy and good on a cold night.
