Made this today for our Thanksgiving Feast. We served it over 3 bunches of broccol and it was fabulous! Before we sat down to eat our boys were sneaking tostitos out of the pantry to dip in the simmering cheese sauce...big trouble..haha. Will put this in my go to file. Thanks!

Love it...I've made this twice now only making a 1 c. of the sauce that is plenty for a 16oz. bag of broccoli...next time I will add a tad more flour or cornstarch as the sauce tends to be a little thin.

Good, easy & versatile. I made a lower fat version by using 1-1/2 cups skim milk instead of the half and half. It was just fine and plenty thick enough. Thanks for the recipe!

This all purpose cheese sauce is perfect for califlower, broccoli or any vegetable. It's simple to make and very cheesy and smooth. I plan on using the left overs for a topping on baked potatoes. Wonderful, KittenCal, and thanks for sharing.
