Very tasty! I will definitely make this again. I used half the flour that was called for and the consistency was perfect. Also added salt, pepper and a clove of fresh minced garlic..and probably double the cheese. Ritz worked fine for the crackers. Think I'll go finish off the leftovers now...

I picked this recipe because I had most of the ingredients on hand. After adding the flour it did seem a bit like mashed potatoes, but I added a little more milk, a couple pinches of nutmeg, some onion powder and more cheese. Didn't have crackers, so used bread crumbs and it was delicious! Will definitely be making it again!
