I used extra sharp cheese and added one jalapeno pepper. Used fresh chopped broccoli, uncooked. Is delicious!! But will add another jaleno for more heat next time.

I made a similar but more complicated version of this recipe for several years. I tossed that recipe out as soon as I made this the first time. It is simple to make and delicious to eat. Even my pickiest child loves it. I often substitute chopped spinach with the same great results.
