Easy to make and tastes great.August 31, 2009By okiegirl63
"I found this recipe very easy to follow. I made it with mild cheddar cheese and it was so good with steamed brocolli. As long as you follow the directions for adding the flour to the butter it thickens quite well. Thank you for sharing the recipe."
