Comments
Note: I generally use more cheese in this recipe. We like using a combination of swiss and mozzarella to the cheddar.

Take this wrapped in foil to the picnic or parking lot for tailgating. It is also a FAVORITE of men and they will consume it all like crazy.. especially if you use hot spicy brats and have lots of cooooold beer!
