Tips and Tricks

If you don’t have fresh cloves of garlic, cheat and add minced from a jar. No one will ever know.

Shredded cheese bought from the store has added chemicals that keep it from drying out. It also makes it harder for the cheese to melt. It is also more expensive. For the best dish, buy the cheaper blocks of cheese and grate them immediately before making this dish.
