Fixed these tonight to go with Recipe#340332#340332 and brocooli...wonderful!!! I cut the recipe in half and the only thing I did differently was to add a minced clove of garlic. Delicious...I will be making these often. Thank you for posting. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup Game 2009.

This is one of those delicious dishes that make you wish you weren't dieting! Other than scaling the recipe, I didn't change a thing. Next time, I'll probably substitute Swiss or Jack for the American (only because I'm not fussy on processed cheese). Thanx Hag Chef!
