I agree that it's a little spendy to make, but if you are a true cheese lover (which I am) this is just an amazing treat. The combination of cheeses blend beautifully. It makes enough for 2 casseroles, so you can freeze one for later. It reheats well and is simple to assemble. If you are watching your cholesterol - this recipe is NOT for you, but if you really are craving comfort food, this is the best!
