FAQ

Can I cook this in the microwave instead of the oven?

When using a microwave, simply heat it until the cheese is thoroughly melted.

Can I add other ingredients besides bell peppers?

Depending on your preference, you can finely chop ham or imitation crab meat and add it in.

Is there anything to keep in mind when using canned corn?

Commercial canned corn is already seasoned with sugar and salt, so it is best to reduce the amount of sugar and salt in the seasoning sauce.
