I found a recipe of Kent's Mom's that I've never made before and it was our new recipe for the week. It was a big success. Caleb even manned up and ate the broccoli that was left on his plate. I've never cooked a dish with curry powder before (plain Jane remember) and we liked this flavor. I did use medium cheddar cheese instead of American because that's what I had on hand that needed used.
