    So easy- very good! I used the salad topping bacon bits and they were just fine (would only cook for 1o minutes though). Also, I moved the whole thing from the cookie sheet to a glass casserole dish (lightly sprayed with oil) right before adding the cheese. I was able to carry it straight to my event and it was a huge hit. Thank you!5 stars
