Description
A creamy cheese sauce ideal for pasta or as a dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups grated cheese, I used provolone
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated. This will create a roux that will thicken the sauce.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Stir in the grated cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Notes
- This sauce can be used for pasta or as a nacho cheese dip.
