One of the easiest, most enjoyed party recipe I've ever made. There are NEVER any left, even if I double or triple the recipe. "Oh, the power of cheese!" These can be made ahead and freeze well.

I had some trouble getting the cheese squares to brown evenly. I think I needed to cook them for a little longer.

These cheese squares were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using a milder cheese if you don't like spicy food.

These Mexican cheese squares are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a few blocks of cheese in my fridge that I need to use up, and these squares are the perfect solution.
