Quick, easy, and delicious!, Member missyou009

I'm a college student, and a fairly new cook. (I've only lived out of the dorms and in an apartment for 2 semesters), but I'm trying to learn how to cook more things, so I decided that I was going to try 1 new recipe a week. I was making broccoli tonight, and I eat pasta a lot, so I decided to try my hand at making a cheese sauce. I poked around online until I found a recipe that seemed easy, and I had the proper ingredients for, and I found this one. I tweaked it a little bit (used muenster and American rather than cheddar, and probably used more like 1 1/4 or 1 1/4 cups of cheese rather than just 1), and it turned out great! The texture is smooth and creamy, and it's very cheesy. I will be making it again.
