Ingredients and Variations

Cheese Sauce – This recipe is all about the sauce! Use Monterey Jack, cheddar, Mexican blend, or any combination! If desired, a can of chicken, celery, or mushroom soup can be used in a pinch for the broth and cream. Use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of cream cheese for a thinner sauce, it will still taste great!
