MAKE YOUR OWN COOKING CREME

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the cream cheese and broth. Stir over low heat until the cheese is melted. Yep, that's it! Two ingredients! Now, you spice it up to match whatever flavor you're looking for. If you want an Italian flair, add 1 TBSP Italian herbs and a few dashes of grated Parmesan cheese. For the Southwest flavor, stir in 1 TBSP taco seasoning or a couple of teaspoons of taco sauce. A squeeze of lime juice can finish it off. Add lemon zest and a TBSP of lemon juice plus some herbs for sauce with a tangy twist. You can easily match Kraft's flavors with some creative combinations of your own without the extra ingredients that you don't need!
