Cheese Sauce

Here's a good recipe for cheese sauce to put on top of broccoli or baked potatoes. Our boys normally love broccoli, but they acted like we were feeding them a treat when we put this sauce on top.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (or seasonings of your choice)
1 1/2 cups milk (I use skim)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (you can use less if you use a sharp cheddar)

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan.
  2. Stir in flour and seasonings. Stir with a wooden spoon. Cook until evenly combined.
  3. After the butter and flour are combined and no lumps remain, slowly add the milk. Stir constantly.
  4. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly. The bubbles should be across the entire surface.
  5. Cook 1 minute longer and turn heat to low. Add cheese and stir until melted.
  6. Serve on top of veggies or potatoes.
