If you're tired of macaroni and cheese and want to give your dish a new flavor, make a delicious cheese sauce. You don't have to spend a lot of time making this sauce, but despite this, you will get an incredibly tasty dish.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Milk
  • Cheese (spicy cheese, cheddar, or parmesan are good choices)
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. 1 Use a medium, wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl. A glass bowl or baking pan is a good choice. The crockery you choose should have high sides, so a plate may not be the best choice.
  2. 2 Rub the cheese into a bowl. You don't need to measure the amount of cheese. Just make sure the bottom of the bowl is completely covered with cheese. The amount of cheese you should take will depend on how much sauce you want to make and the size of your bowl.
  3. 3 Pour milk on top of the cheese so that the cheese is completely covered in milk.
  4. 4 Before adding cornstarch, add a couple tablespoons of milk to cornstarch and stir well; The cornstarch should be completely dissolved in the milk, after which the resulting mixture can be added to the bowl.
  5. 5 Stir all the ingredients together using a fork. Note again that the starch must dissolve completely.
  6. 6 Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for two minutes. Cover the bowl with a lid to keep the microwave clean.
  7. 7 Stir with a fork again. Any pieces of cheese that have stuck together or that have stuck to the bottom should be cleaned.
  8. 8 Repeat this process: place the bowl in the microwave, stir until the sauce thickens. The sauce should sit in the bowl for about two minutes, remember to stir occasionally. The whole process will take about 2-4 2 minute cycles, depending on the microwave you are using and how much sauce you want to make.
  9. 9 Season to taste. A little salt will accentuate the flavor of the cheese.
  10. 10 Serve hot. Pour the sauce over pasta, vegetables, or any other dish you cook to give it a delicious, creamy taste.

Tips

  • Cheddar is a good option for this dish, but you can use other types of cheese as well. You can use several types of cheese. This is very practical as you can add leftover pieces of cheese that have lingered in your refrigerator.
  • Use hot cheese for this sauce. The pungent taste will diminish slightly during cooking. Vermont Cheddar is a great option for this recipe as it tastes good.
  • For the nachos, add some chili powder and ground red pepper. You can add pinto beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, green onions, olives, and other ingredients.
  • Prepare the pasta first before preparing the sauce, or prepare the sauce first before cooking the vegetables.
  • If you decide to bake your dish, put rice or pasta in a bowl, add vegetables and meat. Sprinkle with bread crumbs or breadcrumbs and cheese on top and bake until tender. You should have a flavorful dish with an appetizing crust.
  • If you want to add a savory flavor to your sauce, add some dry sherry or other dry white wine. However, you should not do this if children eat this sauce.
  • You can also cook this sauce on the stove, but do it over low heat and be careful that the sauce does not burn or stick to the bottom. Stir frequently.

Warnings

  • Do not put a plug in the microwave.
  • Be careful when touching the hot bowl.
