Simple Cheese Sauce For Pretzels And Macaroni Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour and cook until mixture is smooth and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in half-and-half, Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep warm until serving.

Steps:

Stir in the mustard, vinegar and salt. Grate the garlic into the mixture using a rasp grater; stir to combine. Cook until the flavors meld, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

• Stir in the milk, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and salt. Cook until mixture starts to bubble and thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and gradually stir in Cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken as it cools, so if necessary, add a little more milk to reach dipping consistency.

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk while whisking.

Whisk until cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Let the cheese sauce bubble for a few more minutes to thicken up slightly. Serve immediately with the pretzel bites!
