Pinch of dried mustard - optional
"I've used this recipe for years and it is soooo good!!! I've never used cayenne in it tho.. might try that! I always use cracker barrel sharp cheddar cheese and it is worth the price because it makes it soooo good! I also add some garlic powder and Dijon mustard to the cheeses sauce (something I got from another recipe.) you can't go wrong with this recipe! It is sooo yummy!"
