Cheese sauce (can be made the night before):.
Heat butter in a 2qt sauce pan until melted.

Reduce heat and continue to cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes more, add salt and pepper to taste Add cheese, stir until melted.
(if making the night before, be sure and cover the pan while sauce cools to prevent a skin from forming) To put it all together:.
