  1. Thank you - I misplaced my tried and true recipe. This is simple and easy to remember
     
  2. Perfect. Easy, quick, yummy! I used Jack cheese and poured the sauce over egg noodles with peas and diced ham. My 3 year old is in HEAVEN!
     
  3. Excellent and easy cheese sauce! The ingredients are things that most everyone has on hand all the time, so this is a keeper in my book! I made the cheese sauce for a meatloaf and it was really delicious. Thank you Xiola Blue!
     
  4. This was a good and easy cheese sauce. It was my first time ever making it and I was pleasantly surprised. I made it as a quick sauce to throw on some steamed broccoli and it served it's purpose well. Thanks for a great recipe!!
     
  5. Two words: E and Z. (Get it? Easy). Had this on broccoli and L-O-V-E-D it. Can't think of a thing to do to improve it, except a shake or two of salt. I wish I'd've had this years ago when my broccoli-hating son was living at home. We had broccoli and spaghetti for supper the night we told our two oldest sons that we wanted to adopt them...sort-a ruined the atmosphere when we had to "make" him eat his supper first! This cheese sauce would've helped--like Mary Poppins "spoon-full of sugar"....!!! *Made for PAC Fall 07*
