For use in my Vegetable Melange Au Gratin recipe (#111644). Great for vegetables, omelets, souffles. For a richer white sauce, substitute light cream for milk, omitting salt. Can be made thinner for soups.

1 Cup (change servings and units)

    I doubled the cheese (I used WHITE CHEDDAR) It was AWESOME! We all LOVED it! Definitely will use this in the future for Mac & Cheese. I also used it w/o cheese as a cream sauce for over cauliflower. Very tasty.

    Mmmm... excellent! I used skim milk, 1/2 havarti and 1/2 old cheddar, and served it on mashed potatoes. Nice and easy cheese sauce!
