Rich and Creamy Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of milk
• 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

To start, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in the flour and whisk until it forms a paste-like consistency. Slowly add in the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture becomes smooth.

Next, stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. Then, gradually add in the shredded colby, swiss, and cheddar cheese, stirring until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Adding in the Macaroni and Vegetables

Ingredients:
