My nana swears by this recipe!
By Holly Owens
Cheese sauce is one of those magical concoctions that can elevate any dish from ordinary to extraordinary. Growing up in the Midwest, I remember my mom whipping up a quick cheese sauce to drizzle over steamed broccoli or to mix into a comforting mac and cheese. It’s a versatile staple that every home cook should have in their repertoire. Whether you’re looking to impress at a dinner party or just want to add a little something special to your weeknight dinner, this homemade cheese sauce is your go-to.
This cheese sauce pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Try it drizzled over steamed vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower for a delicious side. It’s also fantastic as a dip for soft pretzels or tortilla chips. For a heartier meal, pour it over baked potatoes or use it as a sauce for pasta. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even use it as a base for a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich.
