To prepare, remove the film from the tray. Place the tray on a paper towel in the microwave. Heat on high for a specified time, usually around 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.

The cheese sauce is formulated for stability during freezing and reheating, which can result in a slightly different texture than a freshly made sauce.
