Notes: SO GOOD! I made this while we watched the Lost finale, chopping things in front of the tv, and running into the kitchen during commercials. You can for sure add more cheese if you like, and spinach if you want. Most people taste it and it is a little different than they expect, and that is because it has no spinach. Why? I forgot to buy it and could not miss Lost. It is best hot, and you can mess with it easily. It got eaten up quick for sure. It is not the healthiest for you, so sorry about that, but sometimes bad is good! It is quick to make, and not much labor, so try it out! You can even make it, not cook it, take it to a party, and throw it in the oven.
