    Cook’s Note

    You can use any semi-hard cheese for this; you can either cube or crumble it.

    Use half salt and half seasoned salt for more flavor.

    Use more colored vegetables for a prettier presentation.

    Add canned chicken seasoned with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce for a complete meal.
