Tips
Have EVERYTHING you need pre-portioned before you start cooking.
ALWAYS taste before salting. Chicken stock is just garbage and water, so you can use the bones, carcass, skin, aromatics, etc.. to make your own for a richer flavor.
Fresh grated cheese, such as cheddar, melts better than velveeta in this recipe.
