She said, ‘Oh, it smells so good, the chips have already softened, we just need that butter and cheese to melt, and it happens so quickly.
“This is literally the fastest meal you can ever make, that should be good, let’s cover it again and give it another 30 minutes.”
After getting back to the mixture, she added, “Before we finish mixing, I have a few more ingredients to mix in that I think will make it really tasty.
‘We have some chives, you can use fresh if you want. And then I have some sour cream, I like the squeeze variety, so easy.
“It looks just like mashed potatoes and it’s going to taste so good, this is perfect.”
