Notes

Shred your own cheese. This will make the sauce more creamy and flavorful.
If you decide to use pre-shredded cheese, make sure it's a creamy shredded cheese. Velvetta is also an option if you want to simplify this process even more.
Cook at low temperature to melt the cheese slowly and avoid burning
