It didn't take me an hour. Maybe just 30 mins? The longest part was cooking the onions and peppers. Though, maybe it was faster than expected cause I used low-medium heat, rather than just low heat. And I grated the cheese rather than slicing, so maybe that took less time to melt, too.

Cane sugar and syrup was another thing I didn't have so I just substituted muscovado sugar for both. I melted it with a little butter for the syrup. As for the cheeses, I used 2 kinds of cheddar from a pack of flavored cheddars I got recently. However, I must say, it really was the cream cheese that stood out. I think, I could've made it with other cheeses and it would still be good.
