Notes

• We ate this wonderful bowl of comfort food with our favourite local BBQ chicken and some steamed green vegetables.
• I used half low-fat milk and half cream in a feeble attempt to reduce calories.
• The recipe would work just as well with low fat milk.
• Recipe created by Melissa Hughes for Kidspot.
