So I NEED to tell you about this grater I purchased from Amazon. It is HANDS DOWN my favorite kitchen gadget. In fact I don’t know how I survived all these years without it. I can literally grate a block of cheese in SECONDS. Not only that, you can switch out the blade and use it to slice zucchini, squash, potatoes for potato chips. I LOVE IT. You can purchase it from Amazon here (affiliate link) I absolutely love it!
Finally sprinkle with chopped green onions and parsley if desired.
This is such a great hearty meal, we often have it for dinner too! You can substitute any meats or veggies and tailor it to your family’s tastes. Try these substitutions:
- Cooked Bacon
- Cooked crumbled breakfast sausage
