Hi,I was just wondering how many cups of sauce this recipes makes Thanks!!!
It makes about 3 1/4 cups of sauce. I used 3 c of shredded chicken for my husband.
This is sooo yummy! I ran out of Monterey Jack the 3rd time around and am substituting with Colby jack. Super yummy! Very rich taste but I love the Monterey Jack too.
