"Cheese Zombies" and Campbell's Tomato Soup
This recipe you can use my bread recipe at the last stage of the recipe (on the bread recipe page) OR 2 packages of Grands biscuits kneaded together; and any cheese you prefer, although if you want it to taste like the "cheese zombies" we remember for Zillah Elementary, you have to use Velveta!
Preheat oven to 350F. Place a rolled out 1/4 inch think rectangle of dough on a greased cookie sheet. Please cheese slices on dough, touching but not overlapping. Place another rectangle of dough on top. Brush top with melted butter. Bake until the dough is done, lightly browned and the cheese is melted (about 20-30 minutes). Let cool 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm with hot soup.
