For a more mixed cheese taste I added mozzarella cheese with a little yellow American. Tasted great. And I added broccoli.

When milk is evaporating get your measuring cup and get a little bit out and set it aside and when the milk is almost disappearing and its moist thats when you add butter and cheeses little by little .. i added parmesan and mozzarella and the classic yellow cheese and then add the little bit of milk that was taken and eye ball while you stir and LOW HEAT :)
