Mix the cheese sauce
Measure the appropriate amount of milk into a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Add the cheese sauce packet, and stir until all the cheese powder is moistened. Add the sour cream, white wine vinegar, ground mustard and pepper. Stir until combined. The sauce will thicken significantly once the vinegar is added, this is expected.
