Notes
- It is best to shred the cheese yourself, as pre-shredded cheese tends to come coated in a preservative that affects how well it melts.
- If you are feeding a crowd, this would be an easy recipe to double.
- You can put this together the night before, cover it well, and put it in the fridge. Before baking, uncover and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes before baking.
