What is provel and is there a substitute for it? I’ve never heard of it.
Provel is a combination of cheddar, provolone and swiss. If it is not available in your neck of the woods use provolone. Happy cooking!
Looks like a yummy recipe. I’m going to try it this week. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure Nancy! Happy cooking!
“Small town woman” should read “St. Loius Gal” after researching Provel. Goggle “Provel” and you will learn it’s a St. Louis concoction.
So true and so funny Susie!!! Actually I live about 50 miles out of St. Louis but we still have it available here. Provolone is a good substitute and a close second!
looks awesome definitely going to try it!
Thanks so much for the complement. Happy Cooking!
after I make these can I freeze them?
I have never tried although I don’t see why you couldn’t.
