Cheese Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cheese Sauce Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste and begins to turn golden.

  2. 2

    Add the Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk to the roux, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low, and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese (for the cheese sauce) or provolone cheese (for the provolone sauce). Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately over your choice of pasta, vegetables, or as a dip.
