📋 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the best dish to use?
We use a 9x13 as most people have one, but if you have a cast iron skillet, you'll definitely be able to tell a difference in the flavor. Bonus - you can melt the butter right in the skillet.
Should I use freshly shredded cheese or buy a bag of shredded cheese?
We definitely recommend freshly shredded whenever possible. But a bag of cheese will absolutely work!
I definitely don't need to cook the noodles first?
You got it! Do not cook those noodles! (Unless you want to eat a mushy mess.)
