Notes
- Shred your cheese. I recommend shredded your cheese. It melts better than prepackaged cheese.
- Cook vegetables. If you would prefer softer broccoli and carrots, add them in with the onion to cook and soften for a few minutes.
- Leftover rice. This is a great recipe to use leftover rice. You can also use quick rice if you are short on time.
