  3. Make the cheese sauce:
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook until it just starts to brown. Reduce heat.
  5. Whisk in milk a little at a time until all milk is added and sauce is smooth.
  6. Add 2 cups shredded cheese to sauce, a little at a time, stirring until cheese is melted. For a more cheesy sauce, you can add additional cheese. If the sauce gets too thick, stir in a little more milk.
  7. [For a shortcut cheese sauce, skip steps 4-6 and do this instead: In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add half a cup of milk and half a box of Velveeta, cut into small chunks. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until Velveeta is melted. Add extra shredded cheese, if desired, and stir until melted. Add extra milk, if needed, to bring sauce to desired consitency.]

  11. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bread crumbs are browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
