Cheese Sauce

Tasty cheese sauce that can be used over noodles, in a casserole or as a soup base.

In a bowl, toss together the cheeses, cornstarch, mustard powder and paprika, until fully coated.

In a saucepan, melt butter then stir in flour until smooth. Whisk together over medium heat for about 30 seconds to ‘cook’ the flour. This helps to remove its raw gritty flavor and texture.

Slowly pour in the milk a bit at a time until its incorporated, then once the milk is warm, add in the cheese mixture, stirring until melted and thickened. If too thick, add a bit more milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
