Ok, I know it sounds REALLY weird to put a can of beans in a cheese sauce, but it's really thick and creamy. Most other cheese sauces are just loaded with saturated fat, but this one is really high in protein, fiber, and low in fat! It is so much more filling than regular cheese sauce so you can use less. Give it a shot, it sounded really weird to me, but I liked it! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained (will yield 10 oz. of beans) |
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (or you could use regular fat cheese) |
1 cup skim milk |
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
salt |
Directions:
1. Combine rinsed and drained beans with the cheese, skim milk, and all the spices except salt.
2. Put in a blender, and blend till completely smooth.
3. Heat over stove until cheese sauce bubbles or reaches desired consistency, stirring frequently.
4. Add as much salt as desired.
5. This is really good with ravioli and pasta, but I suppose you could also put it on vegetables as well.
