Notes

For an elevated experience, consider draining most of the water, leaving a small amount, then stirring in a splash of milk or cream before adding the cheese for a richer, creamier sauce. Don't overcook the noodles; they should still have a slight chew. Experiment with different types of processed cheese slices like cheddar or monterey jack for varying flavor profiles. Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper, a dash of hot sauce, or chopped scallions for added visual appeal and a burst of fresh flavor.
