Homemade Cheese Sauce Recipe
Homemade Cheese Sauce Recipe
Our velvety cheddar sauce is a great source of protein and calcium, and goes perfectly with everything from beef nachos to creamy macaroni.
Ingredients
- 100 g plain flour
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 1 L milk
- 200 g AdVital Powder
- 150 g cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the milk and nutmeg in a saucepan over a low heat until milk starts to simmer. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Heat the butter in a second saucepan over a low to medium heat until it is fully melted. Add the flour. Cook the mixture, stirring it with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes (or until it starts to bubble). Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly add the milk, one ladle at a time, and stir the mixture constantly to prevent lumps.
- Return the saucepan to a low heat. Cook the mixture for 20 minutes (or until sauce boils and thickens), and stir to avoid the mixture sticking to the bottom and burning.
- Stir in the cheese until the mixture is smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Tips and Hints:
- If there are lumps in the final sauce, use a hand blender to remove them.
- If a low FODMAP diet is being followed, use the Monash University FODMAP Diet App to find suitable low FODMAP ingredient alternatives.
