Hi, Veronica -

If you want to make a nice creamy cheesy sauce, there's no easy way around
the white sauce routine. However: Monterey Jack cheese is much better for
melting than Cheddar, so you could use that instead and do what you
normally do, and possibly come up with something a bit more presentable.
Alternatively, you could grate up some Jack cheese, cover your chips with a
liberal dose, top with peppers of your choice, and run them under the
broiler for a few minutes.

And save me a bite, willya???
