Kids of all ages get a kick out of this recipe. I make it by mounding mashed potatoes into the shape of a mountain, putting a crater in the middle, and filling it with cheese sauce and drizzling some down the sides like lave. Then I broil it until it's bubbling and brown.Beatta Robben, Grinnell, Kansas Ingredients:

1/4 to 1/2 cup milk |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |

1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup milk |
1-1/2 cups cubed process american cheese |
