#DisneyMagicMoments: Cooking Up the Magic — First Time on Disney Parks Blog – Recipe for Totchos from Woody’s Lunch Box at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – YEEHAW!

My
partner in all things Disney food, Alex Dunlap, recently shared the delicious Grilled Three-Cheese
Sandwich recipe from Woody’s Lunch Box at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guess what else
Woody packed in his lunch box that’s easy to make at home? Potato barrels coated with
beef and bean chili, gooey queso sauce, and crunchy corn chips finished with
sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions – Yep, TOTCHOS!

Super simple and highly recommended to make for watching “Toy Story” on Disney+. If feeling the need for even more cheese, how about making Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwiches AND Totchos for a Toy Story marathon? Sounds perfect to me!
