“My daughter doesn’t like cheddar so I added mozzarella cream cheese and Colby jack because it isn’t as sharp. I subbed elbows for ziti and I also added mini hot dogs for an easy Sunday kids meal and everyone loved it!” — a cook, 5.0★
“Has anyone doubled the recipe? if so, how much longer would it take to cook? making for a party.” — a cook
