I ended up throwing most of it out. Maybe using velvetta would make a difference. I didn&#39;t boil the milk but it was very hot. I did read a recent review where someone said you should grate your own cheese instead of buying shredded cheese because there is something in the pre-shredded that makes it curdle.
