Don't be dissuaded because of the ingredient Velvetta. If there ever was a recipe made for it, this is it. Serve over baked potatoes, vegetables, fish, pasta or any which way your creative juices take you.

I'm not a big fan of cheese sauces, but this one is really good. It's not too heavy or greasy.

This sauce is so versatile. I've used it as a dip for vegetables, spread it on sandwiches, and even used it as a topping for pasta.
