Notes

For a smoother sauce, always shred your cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese, which can contain anti-caking agents.
You can adjust the spice level by adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce for additional heat.
This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently, adding a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
