Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • 2 tbsp. Margarine
  • 2 tbsp. Flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 3/4 to 1 cup Greated Cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  1. Step 1

    Melt the margarine in the pot over medium heat until melted and bubbly. Stir with a wooden spoon while doing so.

  2. Step 2

    Add the flour to the melted butter and stir continuously until smooth. This mixture should be very thick and clumped together.

  3. Step 3

    Add the milk all at once and and continue to stir with the wooden spoon over medium-high heat. Be patient, this part takes a few minutes, but is worth the trouble. As you stir and the mixture cooks, it will start to thicken.

  4. Step 4

    When the sauce approaches the consistency of pancake batter, it is time to add the cheese. Turn the heat to low. Stir in the grated cheese a little at a time, giving the cheese time to melt. Taste the sauce occasionally, and stop adding cheese when you achieve the flavor and thickness you want.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the sauce from the heat, and add salt and pepper to taste. Your sauce should be thick, creamy and cheesy. It will be ready to serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Pour it over steamed vegetables and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings
  • Grate the cheese before you start the sauce. Do this because you will need to stir continuously to avoid burning the pan.
  • This recipe is for one cup of sauce. Simply double or triple the recipe for more sauce.
  • Don't leave the sauce unattended at any time. The mixture can get very hot, boil over and cause damage to your cookware and stove if left unattended.
