My special awesome cheese sauce

[judydawn]

Hi DD, you are looking great!

I often freeze cheese sauce in small ziplock bags, it freezes beautifully.

Welcome back DD!

Great to see you again Dot.

Welcome back dot.

I freeze half of this mixture each time I make it as we only use the half quantity for most things. I freeze the second half in a container and then once defrosted just wisk with a hand wisk to get any lumps out, sometimes I find I need to add a little more milk after defrosting particularly if using in a pasta bake.

I am a shameless lurker and NEVER post.  I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say I just made this sauce and it is delicious.  So thanks.  I had bits and pieces of cheese leftover so it was a mixture of cheddar, and several types of parmesan.  Will definitely use the freezing tip, too.

Well now you've reviewed a recipe perhaps you will get addicted to commenting and we might be lucky to see you again real soon thermojinx    What else have you been making from the forum?

[thermojinx]

Mainly sweet stuff Judy.  I should make the leap to savoury more often!

[judydawn]

Indeed you should Thermojinx.  Have you seen CP's list of favourite recipes - some good ones on there.

Hi thermojinx. Tell us some of the things you have made and what you thought of them. We would love to hear more from you.

I've slightly modified this recipe to make a bechamel for lasagne.
Use only 100g cheese
1/4 teaspoon of mustard (could eliminate completely)
No salt

Have done it a number of times now and had success. As with the original, it freezes really well. L

I use this cheese sauce for everything, i sometimes reduce the cheese but normally use the full amount.

Made pasta bake with bolognese sauce the other day. Thought I'd make a white sauce using the TMX instead of using my usual stovetop method. Stumbled upon this sauce instead, and it was so yummy!

Looks good, BZB.   I am always looking for an excuse to make this sauce.

Thank you, Chookie 😄

I made this last week to go over cauliflower & broccoli bake & agree it's a great sauce
