Homemade Cheese Sauce Recipe
I make this cheese sauce when I want something creamy and cheesy to go over pasta, veggies, or even nachos! It’s quick, simple, and way better than store-bought.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk any kind you prefer
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or mustard powder for extra flavor
Instructions
- First, I melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- I whisk in the flour, cooking it for about a minute to get rid of the raw taste.
- Gradually, I pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps, then cook until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- I lower the heat and add the shredded cheese, stirring until it’s fully melted and smooth.
- Finally, I season the sauce with salt, pepper, and any extra seasonings if I’m using them.
