Cheese Sauce

thumbs_up.pngRead my review of this recipe.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock, milk, or combo
  • 2 cups cheddar or jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces Velveeta, cubed

Directions:

Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Just as the foam subsides, sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to remove the starchy taste from the flour; don’t allow it to brown. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock or milk and simmer for 8 minutes to thicken. Once you have a good base, fold in cheese; mix until completely melted into a sauce.

Makes about 2 cups.
