Ingredients

  • 200 ml Whole milk
  • 150 g Cheddar cheese, grated

  • 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  2. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until smooth.

2. Make the Sauce:

  2. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.

Tips for Success

  1. Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture. Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Customize Flavor: Add a pinch of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  4. Double the Recipe: This sauce is so good, you might want to make extra!
  5. Serve Immediately: Cheese sauce thickens as it cools, so serve it hot for the best texture.
