The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons cheese. My sister in law Pam Bork finished this dish and probably dumped in a good half a cup. Cheese is love in Rhinelander, Wisconsin!

 

We paired this dish with Uncle Mark’s ribs, potato salad, cauliflower broccoli salad, Ramen cabbage slaw salad, lots of fruit and Gram Ady’s Raspberry pie.
Look at these ribs! So easy to add to a meal.
