VELVEETA CHEESE SAUCE IN THE MICROWAVE



Velveeta Cheese Sauce in the Microwave image

I just love this simple velvety smooth cheese sauce--it's so easy, cheesy and good! Yummy drizzled over cooked broccoli or cauliflower, or just about anything. Enjoy! Note: Measurements are approximate, use more or less to taste. As the cheese sauce cools, it will thicken; gently reheat to serve (you can whisk in a small amount of milk or water, if needed).

Super Easy Microwave Cheese Sauce for Lasagna image

Matt's lasagna is an absolute killer, but his bit of paper with the cheese sauce recipe keeps getting lost, so I'm posting it here for safekeeping. You can use tasty cheese in place of the cheddar if you prefer. The sauce is prepared in the microwave, then it goes in your lasagna then into the oven.
