  3. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese, mustard, chili powder (optional) and salt to taste, stirring until cheese melts. Serve.

Recipe Notes

Remove from heat, then stir in the cheese to ensure that the sauce doesn't curdle. If it's boiled after the cheese is added, the sauce will separate or curdle.
