My special awesome cheese sauce

[Nighteyes_fitz]

It was amazing! I made it with 200gms of cheese and corn flour and it worked a treat! Added veggies and left over ham from Christmas with macaroni

I make this all the time and I even double it and cook for 12 minutes and it turns out perfectly.  It makes perfect cauliflower cheese and mac cheese and even I add it to tuna and put it on pasta and cook in the oven.  Always is perfect.

Thanks so much for making my lasagne so easy .  It's my first cheese sauce in the TM and I won't be trying any other recipes for this sauce anytime soon
I made 2 batches - one as per recipe and the other using 45g cornflour as suggested by another person - I could hardly tell the difference however I think the cornflour one had the slight edge.
I have 3 lasagnes completed (now cooking) and it took me less than 1.5hrs in between feeding kids and putting them to bed - gotta love that!!!!!
Thanks!!!

Not sure what I did wrong the first time I made it, but I found it a bit 'meh'...

Made it tonight for my lasagne, as I'd forgotten to pick up some cheese sauce satchels (I know, I know!!!), sooo much better then the packet one HAHA

edit - I did it maddys way, I think that is it, I can always taste flour, so the cornflour did the job, it was supurb!

This is an awesome sauce!

This is our standard cheese sauce now. We have it over cauliflower and broccoli each week with our roast dinner. I cover the vegetables and put in the oven to brown.

Ditto Wonder, I just love this sauce except that I use cornflour, which slightly alters the texture ...

Freezes well, also.

I make this sauce with prepared hot English mustard & sometimes half chicken stock half milk. Makes a different flavour which goes well with pasta bakes. Or sometimes all light milk with a little stock paste. For chicken pie I make it without the cheese & more stock than milk & a little white wine & fresh herbs. Probably use a bit more flour too...not very good at measuring. It's a classic recipe! thanks for formattiing it for the TM!

[JuliaBalbilla]

Interesting you should mention that as I have made another recipe for cheese sauce which contained no milk at all - just stock, water and wine.  I was a bit dubious to start with, but it did taste delicious ...

Without the dairy it's a veloute I guess...but never had it with cheese. I'm sure it woud work but hard to beat a good slurp of cream!

[JuliaBalbilla]

The recipe is here (just ignore the bit about cauliflower) ...

We had this over broccoli and cauliflower and homemade chips last night. Delicious.
Has anyone added extra liquid to be able to cook the macaroni in the sauce (bit like tuna pasta in EDC)? I love this recipe and am thinking it would be great quick after sports meal for the kids, with some bacon and veggies.
