Ingredients
- Cheese Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Make a Roux: Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture starts to turn a golden brown.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to prevent lumps.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Turn the heat to low and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, cumin, cayenne, and salt.
- Stir Until Smooth: Continue stirring until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the cheese sauce immediately with nachos, tacos, or your favorite snacks!
Notes
- Tip: Adjust the heat by adding more cayenne for spiciness or less for a milder flavor.
- Storage: Leftover cheese sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
