Our family made this as the appetizer for our New Year's dinner. Using this recipe we ended up with a 9x13 pan as well as a 9x9 pan of the dip. We baked the dip at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I would recommend cutting the recipe in half the next time we make it. The dip can be served with Ritz crackers, tortilla chips or cubed French bread.

Bad recipe. Tastes good, but absolutely will not thicken up if you follow the directions as written. First. Add the liquid to the roux, not the other way around. That'll help. But even so, you're probably going to have to add an egg or two to make a custard. That, or cut down on the milk. Eventually, I rescued this recipe, but it took far too much time and effort.

This was really delicious - really hits the spot on cold winter nights! I did go a little lighter on the cheese than the recipe said the last time I made it (having followed it to the letter the first time I made it) and it turned out just as yummy.
