This was excellent! I wasn't sure what to do with the other 1 c shredded cheese so put it on top. Added frozen chopped spinach (thawed) for extra nutrition and a few chopped green onions into the cheese mixture. Used cheddar-jack cheese instead of mozzarella (what I had on hand). Was not hot through after 30 minutes but heated my portion in microwave and it was fine. Thanks for the yummy dinner!
