4.6 How to Make Amazing Cheese Sauce with Only FOUR Ingredients!

If you've read my other blogs, you know I'm a Sconnie (aka, from Wisconsin). Here in Wisconsin, there's one thing in the food industry that is sacred to us- CHEESE. It's a staple in most of our food dishes and rightfully so, because it makes every meal even more delicious. 

Whether or not you're from Wisconsin, you need this amazing four-ingredient cheese sauce in your life, immediately. This is one of my favorite recipes because it can be used in so many different ways. As a bonus, there's a good chance you already have all of these ingredients!

The ways I love to use it: 

• Over noodles for Mac n' Cheese
• Drizzled on broccoli and cauliflower
• On top of spaghetti and meat sauce

If any of those suggestions sound strange, remember- don't knock it 'til you tried it!

Here's what you'll need: 

• Flour (1/4 cup)
• Milk (2 cups)
• Cheese (to taste)
• Butter (4 tbsp)
• Saucepan
• Whisk

Seriously, that's it!  The kind of cheese to use is up to you. Take this opportunity to customize your cheese sauce to fit your taste palate. I am a sucker for real cheddar cheese and Velveeta. For this specific recipe, we'll use only Velveeta cheese. 

How to make the sauce: 

1. Put a small saucepan on the burner and turn the heat on low.
2. Place two tablespoons of butter in the pan and let it melt completely.
3. Pour two cups of milk into a microwave-safe container; microwave 2 minutes.
4. While your milk is warming, slowly whisk in your 1/4 cup of flour until smooth.
5. Slowly whisk in the warm milk until you have a creamy mixture (no chunks).
6. Finally, it's time to add in the cheese! Stir continuously and add it in slowly. 
• The amount of cheese you add in is up to you. Keep adding it in until the level of "cheesiness" is to your liking!

You will have zero regrets giving this cheese sauce a try, so grab the supplies and get cooking!
