Topping Essentials Awesome Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk flour into butter until smooth. Pour milk into butter mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese and stir until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• This recipe requires that you caramelize the onions. Rather than repeat those steps, I have a very good recipe on this site, and here is the link: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/master-class-caramelizing-onions.html?r=3
• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Thinly cut the onions into halfmoons, and caramelize. Use your own method, or the above recipe link.
• When the onions are fully caramelized, add the coconut sugar, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and balsamic vinegar.
• Stir at a simmer, for 2 minutes.
• Finally, add the apple-cider vinegar, and fire-roasted tomatoes; including the juices from the can.
• Continue to simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until it reduces, and thickens, about 10 - 12 minutes (depending on the heat of your pan).
• Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator, using a non-reactive container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Chef's Note: Bring to room temperature before using.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Place on crackers with some cream cheese, and serve as an appetizer, or use as a topping for beef or pork. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
