I'm trying this again. I made this to pour over broccoli. It does NOT taste like Cheez Whiz, thank goodness! I used margarine, black pepper and mild cheddar cheese. I'll look for sharp cheese next time, as that will improve the flavor. I added a little Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard (made it like my Mom's Macaroni & Cheese recipe). A nice way to have brocolli for a change.
