Nice and creamy I had some mozzarella so I added a bit of that also. I also made sure to add the dry mustard to add a kick to the cheese sauce

This is a good, basic recipe. I used evaporated milk and added regular milk to a total of 2 1/2 cups. I also added worchestershire sauce and dry mustard.

I found it pasty tasting with the flour, bread crumbs added nothing to the flavor and the cheese was pretty tasteless too. Very disappointing.

when I made this dish I added more cheese and 1tsp of hot mustard powder plus extra milk to make it creamy, I also grate extra cheddar add it some crushed cornflakes for the topping. This dish must be made with Extra strong cheese for flavour.
