Recipe Notes

I'm going to make this for my mum, who has food allergies, and is lactose intolerant.  The internet says Velveeta, etc, are generally worse for lactose intolerant people than regular cheeses, so I'm going to try substituting 2% lactose free milk for the milk, and a mix of 3/4 mild cheddar and 1/4 mozzarella.
