Wow is this stuff addicting! I made a half recipe to use up some leftover cheeses and Rotel; didn't use any salt, used about 1/4 tsp black pepper, and not quite the full amount of parmesan (a Tbsp or two shy). Took out after 35 minutes of baking as it was bubbling like mad already and I didn't want it to overcook. This will definitely be made again. Thanks for posting!
