How to Make a Cheese Sauce
Cheese sauce is an excellent addition to a huge variety of meals. To make a standard cheese sauce, for the likes of pasta dishes, casseroles, burgers, nachos and dips, follow these simple instructions:
- Prepare your roux: Melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat, then whisk in two tablespoons of flour and cook for a couple of minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Add milk: Gradually whisk one cup of milk into your bubbling mixture, continuing to whisk until it thickens and becomes smooth.
- Incorporate cheese: Remove from hob and stir in one cup of shredded cheese until it melts. Many cheeses work for a perfect cheese sauce, but cheddar is a particularly good addition. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
