Notes

I shredded my own cheese for this and used all cheddar to keep it simple . You can change the cheese to your liking . 
I used 1 pound of ground meat , you can add more to add a little more heartiness. I would not exceed 2LBS 
I have added the garlic packet in with the filling or sprinkled it on top of the cheese at the very end. Either way will work .
