Ok.. Cheat Code On!
The best part of this recipe is the freedom in selecting your ingredients.
Want it healthier change the milk, butter, and cheese to lower fat alternatives!
Do you have left over baked potatoes from last nights dinner? Use them, making baked potatoes for dinner tonight and think soup sounds good make a few extras!
Like some other kind of cheese, switch it out. Don’t want to cook the bacon, buy bacon pieces from the store. Leftover bacon from another meal? Dice it and throw it in!
It’s a great way to use leftovers or to make as a meal itself!
