Mix all ingredients except for stuffing or bread crumbs and place in a 2-quart oiled casserole dish and top with bread crumbs. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes. After baking, more Monterey jack cheese can be sprinkled over the top and melted under the broiler.

For a "meatier" dish add 1 pound browned, drained ground beef and 2 cups cooked pinto or garbanzo beans. I play with this recipe a lot and add this and that to it.

CHEESE`S CREAM SOUP

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons finely minced onion
1 small clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Gouda cheese
1 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté briefly at medium-low heat. (This is one of the very few times we will ever ask you to go easy on the garlic. You need just a small clove, about 1/2 teaspoon minced.) Next, quickly stir in the flour to make a paste. Add the chicken broth, whisking vigorously to avoid any lumps. Continue whisking and quickly add the milk. Bring almost to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add the cheese and use a spoon to continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and blends into the soup. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream. Let the soup come back up to serving temperature, however do not let it boil! Salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with plenty of fresh Cuban bread or any non-Cuban bread you may be saddled with in your part of the country.

Serves 4
