Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups American cheese, grated
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp. flour
  • ½ tsp. mustard
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ⅛ tsp. paprika
  • dash pepper
  • pimento stuffed olives, sliced
  • 6 slices buttered toast or crackers

Instructions

  • Mix together evaporated milk and water.
  • Melt butter and add flour. Add milk mixture slowly, stirring constantly.
  • Add grated cheese over medium-low heat until cheese is melted.
  • Add salt, paprika, pepper, and mustard. Stir together well.
  • Serve hot over toast or crackers. Garnish top with sliced olives.

Notes

I added more mustard and paprika to get more flavor in this dish, it's pretty bland otherwise. If I made it again I would omit salt, the cheese and olives were plenty salty so adding salt makes it too salty for my taste.
