Cheddar Cheese Sauce {quick and easy Homemade Recipe}

My daughter is absolutely crazy about Cheddar Cheese Sauce, especially poured over French fries. She could eat a whole meal of it, despite her small frame 🙂 So, from time to time, at home, I try it, and we put it on everything… 😉

This recipe is really quick and easy to make, and I sometimes like to add a few variations, like a teaspoon of mustard or a little garlic semolina (dehydrated), and I sometimes add a little parmesan or pecorino. I find it spices up this delicious cheddar sauce.

This cheese sauce can be enjoyed warm or hot, as an aperitif for example. You can store it for a few days in the fridge, then heat it in a bain-marie or saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

• With pasta (for a quick Mac and Cheese), which you cook 1 minute less than usual. Then pour the pasta into the sauce and toss gently to coat. Any type of pasta will do, but personally I prefer long pasta such as spaghetti or linguine.

• On fries, as an aperitif, or with homemade crackers.
• With baked nachos: for this, you’ll need Mexican chips, which you pour into an oven dish, cover with cheddar sauce and serve, after a few minutes in the oven, with homemade guacamole and a salad of diced tomatoes and finely sliced red onions.
