Gradually stir in milk; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk until slightly thick. Stir in cream cheese, mustard, salt and pepper, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Ken thought this needed a bit more crunch so he crushed some potato chips over the top and seemed to enjoy it a bit more. This dish was especially good as leftovers the next day!
