Ingredients

1 package Velveeta cheese 1/2 lb
2 tablespoon Butter
1 cup Milk

Directions

1
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes to help it melt evenly.
2
Place the cheese cubes, butter, and milk into a small saucepan.
3
Set the saucepan over low heat.
4
Stir frequently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching.
5
Continue heating and stirring until the cheese and butter are completely melted and the sauce is smooth and uniform, about 5 minutes.
6
Remove from heat. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash more milk. If too thin, simmer for another minute.
7
Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
