For a smoother sauce, use a whisk instead of a spoon while stirring. If you prefer a sharper flavor, try using a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth.
