Simple Cheddar Cheese Sauce
A preservative-free and all natural cheese sauce - this recipe uses real cheese and nothing "processed". Especially delicious over roasted vegetables like roasted broccoli, roasted Brussels and potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 cups whole milk warmed in microwave
- 3-4 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder I use Coleman's
Instructions
- In a skillet or sauce pan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the olive oil and whisk quickly to combine with the melted butter.
- Add the flour and stir quickly to make a roux.
- Add the warm milk in small batches, whisking in between each addition so a smooth sauce forms.
- When all the milk has been added, whisk the sauce well and let the sauce come to a simmer.
- When the sauce is bubbling and has thickened, add the grated cheese. Turn the heat off and stir in the cheese as it melts.
- Add the salt and mustard powder and stir to combine. Serve immediately/
