I only used 1 cup of a mozzerella/cheddar mix; next time I will definitely use two (I've been adding it with the leftovers, which isn't quite the same). I also added the red peppers with the cheese so they would stay crisper. I'm not sure precisely what the baking is supposed to accomplish--next time I think I will just blend it all over a medium-low heat (in a non-stick pot, of course) till the cheeses are blended. I'll use more peppers next time. Maybe some broccoli. Seasoned chicken breast strips, too, for a little extra flavor.
