I got this recipe from John's mom, Patti, who got it from her mom (his grandma June). John had mentioned several times how good it was, so I thought I'd ask Patti for it. She confirmed it was indeed a family favorite, and passed along the recipe. I made it the other night--both John and I liked it. I shared some of the left overs with Katharine, who also really liked it.

hmmm, i'm not so big on velveeta, and i'd probably throw a bit of onion in there, but this sounds like one worth trying

Yea, I should have said that the velveeta is optional. The 2 1/2 cups of regular cheese would be fine by itself, but I decided that I would add the velveeta. I'm not an onion fan...though some onion powder might make it yummy (to me).
