Here's my favorite recipe, which is for the "sunset sauce" that you used to be able to get at Tortilla Coast in DC.
Blend 2 jalapeños (seeded or not - you decide!) + 2 bunches of cilantro with a 1/4 cup whole milk. Add to a melted brick of Velveeta and stir. Add more milk if needed. Enjoy!
Velveeta was a disappointment when I tried to use it for some "junky" kid's mac & cheese. It wasn't cheesy enough. I ended up adding in a lot of shredded cheddar and butter (and even some dry mustard).
The Wegman's cheese sauce is very good but it comes in smallish pouches.
I think there's no replacement for a huge can of Sysco sauce that they use in restaurants but I'd have to hang out at a loading dock in a miniskirt with cash to score that, I'd imagine.
