AUNT SQUISHY'S PEAS-N-CHEESE
PRO TIP: After adding the cheese it will look melted but seem gloopy & you're going be tempted to add more milk. DONT! Parmesan cheese is deceptive. Just keep cooking & stirring & be patient. It will continue to thin into a creamy gravy consistency. PRO TIP: Don't add the peas too soon! You need the sauce to be nice and hot so it can thaw & heat the peas without getting cold! PRO TIP: Avoid cooking the peas! If you have to put it back on the burner then you have to but try to avoid it. Cooking the peas will make them mushy and they'll start to taste like canned peas. Yucky.

Steps:
- Melt butter over medium high heat in a medium to large non-stick sauce pan or Dutch oven.
- Add flour and whisk until smooth.

- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and shredded cheese and continue to heat, stirring continuously until sauce is smooth, creamy, and not at all stodgy or gloopy. (See pro-tips)
