Melty Cheese Topping for Bread

Cheese spread on french bread. Gets nice and bubbly in the oven. Kinda tastes like pizza, goes great with beer. I loved making this with my mom as a child. -Your kids (and men) might like it as much as my siblings and I did! We called it "Goop" (I thought the title might drive people away!). My mom got this from a friend back in the 70's- she used to make it for all the guys to eat while they watched football and drank beer. Mix 6 hours ahead of time (but I can never wait that long!), then just spread on bread and pop it in the oven.
