Good suggestion with the corn starch. I used several types of cheese that I had on hand. The kids are gobbling up the mixed veggies they usually refuse! Yay!

Great over broccoli and perogies. I halved the recipe for myself, my husband and daughter. We still only used about half of it.

I was looking for a cheese sauce recipe because it's the only way my husband will eat broccoli but it's my children's favorite veggie (go figure!). I came across this one and was quite pleased with the result - although I did modify a bit. First, I used 8 oz of cheddar cheese because we don't typically have processed cheese in the house. I also used flour instead of cornstarch because I didn't have any left - in doing this I used a lot more water, probably about 6-1 but I didn't measure :); and I added about a teaspoon of salt. The sauce was rich, creamy , cheesy and delicious over the broccoli and the roasted potatoes I had made too! My children wouldn't poor the sauce on their precious broccoli, but they did dip some bread in it and both said it was tasty.

Excellent cheese sauce, but I had to modify it a little bit for it to work. I cut the recipe in half, otherwise it would have been way too much for me. I had to add about 1 tbsp. more of corn starch for it to thicken, and I used a little bit more water to mix the corn starch with. It also should be put in the directions that it should be GENTLY boiled. Milk burns easily and can leave a gross looking solid floating in the liquid so make sure to constantly stir the mix.

Very simple and very good. I used Velveeta instead of American cheese slices (AmCh slices vary a lot in content and moisture and are not reliable in recipes). I found it to be tasty and a good consistency. And folks, if you think it's not thick enough for you.....add more cheese.

Tasty, but calls for too much milk. It's wasteful and time-consuming to let it boil down...otherwise the sauce would be much too thin, IMO. I may make it again and halve the milk.

This cheese sauce was such a pleasant surprise! I followed the recipe exactly with exception to the cheese. I am currently living in the middle east and do not have access to processed cheese (or cheddar of any kind) which was called for in the recipe but substituted it with about 3 tbsp of powdered cheddar cheese mix (that I brought with me from home). This was honestly divine - rich and creamy, delicious. It's the garlic and onion that set this sauce apart from the rest. Only a small amount is needed to make the difference, too much and it would overpower it. I served it over broccoli and my husband absolutely loved it. The next day I used the leftovers as a nacho dip... yum! I will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!!

I used a mix of cheddar and monterey jack for this. It was the easiest cheese sauce I have made. The milk did take a very long time to reduce. I split the recipe in half and will have enough left over to smother some veggies tomorrow.

This was a great tasting cheese sauce, but I had to doctor it up. I only used 2 cups of milk and 16 oz. velveeta cheese, and it was very soupy. So I add lots of cheddar chesse. Everyone really liked it. I will be adding this to my recipe book. This recipe has a lot of potential . You could adjust the receipt to make a spicy cheese sauce.

This sauce was delicious! It didn't require too much effort to obtain great results, and it is very easy to thin out with water if you let it thicken too much.

The flavor on this was actually pretty good, but the consistency of the recipe as written was way too watery. It took a LONG time to thicken and only after what can only be described as a "flour frenzy" took place as we were trying to get it on the table for Christmas dinner. Needless to say, we added too much and while it was great on the table it did form quite a thick paste after sitting. Could be user error, but I'll pass on this one next time

Gourmet this is not but my 3 kids said it was the best cheese sauce they ever tasted and were licking their plates. Sometimes it's nice to not hear any complaints at dinner and this did the trick. Thanks. (BTW, used velveeta and halved the recipe, served over noodles, steamed broccoli & cauliflower.)

This was a good recipe in a "pinch", but not a true creamy cheese sauce. That said you can't expect "great" when the recipe call's for 16 american cheese slice's, right? I also found the amount to be way too much, 1/2 the recipe would do. This is the perfect recipe for beginner's in the kitchen and for those dinner's put together in a "pinch". But I will do a little further searching at All Recipe.com for that perfect creamy melt in your mouth cheese sauce-because this one wasn't it.

It was pretty good. I had to add tons more cornstarch than the recipe called for, and let it cook forever and it was still runnier than I'd like. Taste was fine though.
