Freeze Cheese Before ShreddingBefore shredding soft cheeses like mozzarella, I put the cheese in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I’ve found this makes it easier to shred, and the cheese doesn’t stick to the grater. —Cheryl J., Beltsville, Maryland

This recipe was delicious!! I halved this recipe since it is just the two of us at home now. It was so good I wished I had made the whole recipe for leftovers. My husband absolutely loved it!! I used less corn and more cheese, we are cheese lovers. This recipe is a keeper.

This is an often requested recipe in our household of six. I pare it with crispy green beans and a light rice that I cook in chicken broth seasoned with a bit of cumin, garlic and onion powder and diced tomatoes.I have also used this "topping" on seasoned baked white fish instead of chicken

Easy, fast and delicious! I was concerned at on reading the recipe that it might be a little too spicy/hot, but in fact the seasoning was just right.
