This recipe sounds great! Since we don’t use velveeta, do you think just making a cheese sauce and adding it would work in it’s place?

This was a hit!!! My 5 yr old doesn’t like anything with tomatoes – so I made sure she wasn’t looking when I put the salsa in and after one bite she let out a big YUMMMM!!! Followed by a ‘this is the best dinner ever!” Even my hubby liked it and the baby gobbled it up 🙂 I am so making this again 🙂 Thanks for the great dinner idea.
Cheryl cheese sauce should work in it – the mexican velvetta has some spices in it so you might want to add a bit of salsa to your cheese sauce.

    Cheese sauce is a super idea, probably a lot healthier too!
