    My ex-mother-in-law used to make this all the time I used to call her and beg her for the recipe but her english is not good so all I understood was cheese. lol. I tried looking it up before and found some recipe that was similar but it had corn and evaporated milk in it. I made it and accidentally used condensed milk instead of evoraped milk.. it was okay but tasted too sweet. My ex was so happy with it though that I tried to make him something familiar when he was homesick. lol! poured it over boiled potatoes (yucca is hard to find anywhere but Miami!) and halved boiled eggs and baked chicken.
