- My kids call these giant Nacho balls. They seem to be very popular at my house.
- If I know I will be running short of time at dinner , I make these right up to filling the muffin tin and refrigerate until I am ready to bake them.
- I have hidden carrots and zucchini in this mix often and the children rarely notice because of the sauce and cheese.
