3-INGREDIENT CHEESE SAUCE

This velvety-smooth sauce uses real cheddar (not the processed stuff) and comes together in less than 10 minutes. Serve as is with chips, fries, or chili dogs, or transform it into the best queso you've ever had (see below for more on that). Pro tip: Skip the aged cheddar from the fancy cheese counter-the sauce will be even creamier with a block of no-frills cheddar from the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

Steps:

  • Make cheese sauce:
  • Toss cheese and cornstarch in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour evaporated milk over and cook in microwave on high 1 minute. Whisk and continue to cook in 30-second increments, whisking in between, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).
  • Make queso variation:
  • Once cheese has melted, stir in Rotel and hot sauce, if using, and microwave an additional 30 seconds. Stir to combine.

For cheese sauce:
8 ounces grated yellow sharp cheddar (about 2 packed cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup evaporated milk
For queso variation:
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained, squeezed dry
Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Pour 500ml milk into a large saucepan and add 4 tbsp plain flour and 50g butter.
  • Turn on the heat to medium and start to whisk the mixture. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil - the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken.
  • Whisk for another 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir in 100g grated strong cheddar cheese (or 50g grated cheddar, 50g crumbled blue cheese) until melted.
