Way too much beer. Other websites recommend 1 cup. A bottle made it taste disgusting.

Very disappointing. Nothing like Applebees: Way too much cheese. Why is there even Colby Jack in this?

I haven’t made this recipe, I wanted to just comment that I have had this at Applebee’s many times, and it tastes like they use an Alfredo sauce as a base. I have been searching for a recipe, and pretty much all are this one you shared. Most saying it’s nothing like Applebee’s. I wonder if Alfredo sauce is the key. I’ll continue searching or experiment on my own.
Michelle,
Thank you. Please let us know what you come up with. We’ll keep searching, too.
