I'm a bit timid about making a roux and my waistline doesn't really need the extra butter so this simple cheese sauce suits me perfectly. Try it for yourself. Note: The quality of a cheese sauce is all about the cheese. If your cheddar is sharp enough mustard and Worchestershire are unnecessary. If not, then maybe a pinch of the one and a dash of the other would be a good idea.

    Wow, very easy sauce, I didn't know what to make for my daughters 5th birthday party but I tagged this in 'Please Review my Recipe' and the idea came to me to make Lasagna Lasagne. I made the sauce two ways, one using full cream milk and the other using lactose free milk. For the full cream I kept to the recipe but for the lactose free lasagne I left out the cheese, both lasagne's turned up golden brown and looked nice. Everyone said it tasted nice. Thank you 3KillerBs
