I'm a bit timid about making a roux and my waistline doesn't really need the extra butter so this simple cheese sauce suits me perfectly. Try it for yourself. Note: The quality of a cheese sauce is all about the cheese. If your cheddar is sharp enough mustard and Worcestershire are unnecessary. If not, then maybe a pinch of the one and a dash of the other would be a good idea. Ingredients:
2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons flour (more for an extra-thick sauce) |
6 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 dash garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Heat milk over medium heat to a gentle simmer.
2. Toss flour with cheese. Add to simmering milk by handfuls, stirring in each handful and letting it melt before adding the next.
3. After all cheese has been added bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for one minute.
4. Remove from heat and let sit 3-5 minutes before using on any food that tastes good under cheese sauce.
