Really good and super easy. A couple details to note: be sure to use cheese that does NOT come pre shredded. Pte shredded cheeses contain cellulose, an anti-caking agent that will lead to subprime melting. Also, i recommens adding the cheese a lite before the milk/butter/flour melts. Heading the cheese slowly will help keep it smooth and creamy.

Instead of using the sauce for veggies,it was used as a topping for Chili Cheese Dogs. For the 1/2 cup cheese,I used a blended cheese. It contained Vermont Cheddar and mild California Jack.I made the recipe as it was written,but for some reason the sauce turned out sort of grainy. Even though it was a bit grainy, we still enjoyed it. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
