Posted by Deborah Hunter on

• Now fold in your noodles stir until noodles are completely covered in cheese mixture 
• Now layer noodles in a large baking dish. Between each layer add additional thin slices of cheese using both cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. Cover the top layer completely with cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil.
