(1) Cheese - use 8 ounces of your choice. I like to mix several cheeses including a bit of pepper jack for a little heat.
(2) Red pepper, green pepper, mushrooms, all optional according to your preference and taste.
(3) If you don't want to make the roux, use 2 cans of cream of chicken. If you make the roux, you may only need 1 can of cream of chicken.
