Comments:

From Grandma Marge Grafton who got it from Ruth Tackels. As a soccer coach, I had the pleasure of meeting Joy Simpson who gave me a recipe much like this. She had it memorized and said I probably would too, based off how often the kids will ask for it. I’ve never made it with the cereal crushed on top. I usually sprinkle some extra cheese on top. There’s never a bite left at potlucks even when doubled and it freezes well. Not a good recipe for people counting calories.
