Oh my gosh, so rich and creamy! You could definitely serve this by itself and be satisfied! I used Velveeta block cheese instead of shredded, tends to be too stringy. I just cut it up in little blocks along with the cream cheese and microwaved it a little. Added the shaker style parmesan cheese but no salt or pepper. Didn't need it! Served it with shake n bake chicken tenders, such a satisfying, filling meal!
