Pepper Jack Cheese Sauce

I found this wonderful, easy cheese sauce on the Nibble Me This blog.

I put it on burgers for dinner last night. They turned out great! Then, for lunch today, I put some more on a hot dog, in place of the usual mustard. Wow! I'll be making this again. You can substitute any kind of good melting cheese you'd like.
