Creamy Cheesy Sauce

Creamy Cheesy Sauce

By Mandy Littleton

Total: 20 minutes
SauceVegetarianQuick & Easy

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1

Grate the cheese if it's in a block. Set it aside.

2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste and begins to bubble gently (this is making a roux).

4

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep whisking and cook the mixture for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

5

Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated cheese, stirring continuously until it's completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, stirring well to incorporate the flavors evenly.

7

Remove from heat and serve the creamy cheesy sauce over pasta, vegetables, or as a dip for bread.
