Answer 4

Why does it have to be home made. I buy the instant one that you just add boiling water to. When I'm doing cauliflower or broccoli I cook it and then grate a heap of cheese over it and then cover it with the instant cheese sauce. The heat of the sauce makes the cheese melt. Quicker and easier than making your own and the taste is great!!!
