I would use a can of cheddar cheese soup instead of the Velveeta.

All I can say is "yikes" on the sodium content! Would really have to work on lowering that. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. I'll pass on this one. None of us like Velvetta or any processed cheese!

Yes, I would use regular cheddar cheese myself. Sounds like a great recipe!

wow i bet this is really good (except for the processed cheese), but I could find a million ways to lighten this up and still keep the cashews. I can feel my arteries clogging now.
