Notes: This was a recipe that Hal shared with me and I have modified a few times as the boys were growing up. A comfort food that is great on its own or as a side dish.
3 stalks of celery diced usually doesn't happen and it is still the most delicious
˝ lb ham diced- (Hal's original recipe calls for Ham but I sometimes eliminate or sub bacon)
We have subbed out cheeses based on what we had and it turned out fine, too.
