"I got the idea from Greenwich Connecticut schools that had something similar. I'm not sure they added spices but I am, and you can add spices to taste. They served this at elementary schools in Connecticut in the 1960s. They were not laying on the spice then. lol This could be freezer meal. They developed this using commodities from government so it was government cheese on topping pretty heavy"
