Substitutions
If you prefer homemade sauces you can make your own cheese sauce. Add 1 cup of cream or whole milk to a pan and let it reduce. Add 2 slices of processed American cheese and 1 teaspoon of tapioca flour. It has the same consistency.

Recipe FAQs
No, Arby’s Sauce and Red Ranch sauce are not the same. Red Ranch sauce is sweeter and Arby’s sauce is a more tangy sauce and slightly spicy.
