BROCCOLI & CHEDDAR BARS
These bars are so good. It's another well received dish the folks at Church enjoyed..so easy too! I used mushrooms today, you can leave them out if you prefer...sometimes I add some heat to them by adding red pepper flakes... These can be eaten cold as well as hot, that's what makes them nice to take somewhere. Enjoy!
