Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large nonstick saucepan, melt the margarine. Add the celery and scallions; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 4 minutes.
3. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
