Cheese sauce from processed cheese
Description
Minimal ingredients — excellent result. Honestly, not every processed cheese works well for making sauce. Usually cheaper ones crumble and don't melt at all. To make a cheese sauce from processed cheese, use richer and higher-quality cheese, similar to cream cheese (check the package, it's usually indicated there). You'll also need some grated hard cheese (Parmesan or similar, optional). The finished sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
