- Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Notes: You may use whatever milk you have on hand. I always have 2% milkfat, so that is what I specified here. I have used skim in the past and it turned out great as well. Also, calories indicated are for 1/2 Cup sauce.
