Everyone from Canada will have their favourite recipes, but here is a good looking one that is a good base- simple ingredients, an explanation for cheese curd substitutes if you can't find them in the cheese section at the grocery store, and some good footnotes and tips- no backstory to read through, either.

Once you try the basic recipe, you could try different spices, toppings, combinations etc.
