You
can use cheese sauce to make almost anything better. It’s a delicious dip for
fries, nachos, fried chicken, etc. Do you have kids that refuse to eat their
veggies? You can also use cheese sauce to coat steamed vegetables and make them
more appealing to picky eaters.
There
are two ways to make cheese sauce: the hard way and the
‘quick and easy’ way. The hard way takes at least 30 minutes and requires a
long list of ingredients, including butter,
all-purpose
flour, milk, shredded Cheddar cheese, ground black pepper, and salt, to name a
few. The preparation can easily take a huge chunk of your time and the results
are not always guaranteed. There’s a big chance that your DIY cheese sauce will
come out gritty if you use packaged shredded cheese, for example. This is
because prepacked and pre-shredded cheese is typically coasted with flour so
that the shreds don’t stick together. If you want a smooth cheese sauce, you
will have to shred your own cheese from a block—which again, is a lot of hard
work.
If
you want to make
cheese sauce quickly and easily, buy an
instant cheese sauce powder premix. All you have to do is mix it with water and
you’re done. These premixed wonders can turn anyone—even kitchen newbies—into
professional saucier.
You
literally need only two ingredients to make a delicious cheese sauce: (1) one
pack of cheese sauce premix and (2) water. Use one part premix and 1.5 part
water. Combine the two ingredients and mix well. Then, just simmer them for 15
minutes—and you’re done. Your rich cheese sauce is ready.
Make
weeknight dinners more convenient by stocking your pantry with cheese sauce
premixes. Be sure to buy your cheese sauce mix from a reputable manufacturer
that uses only the best ingredients.
