When my husband and I got married in 1951, one of the first appliances we bought was an apartment-size electric range. The range came with a cookbook that included this recipe. I've used the same recipe ever since!

My husband and daughter really loved this recipe. I was asked when are you going to make them again.

Probably because,back in the "old days", people did not think of themselves as "gourmet cooks", money was really short, the manufacturer realized that and included a recipe that was really good. Try it, you might like it as is, or you might add your own cheese or cheeses.

why does the recipe call for 6 ounces each of just one kind of cheese? It's not divided, what am I missing?
