CREAMY CHEESE SAUCE RECIPE WITH 3 CHEESES! + VIDEO
Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the flour, salt and cayenne pepper and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to cook out the floury taste. Don't skip this step. Trust me, floury sauce is not tasty, and cooking it for a minute will also brown the flour, adding a slight nuttiness to your cheese sauce.
- Add the milk, whisking constantly. Simmer until the sauce begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to low.
- Add the cheeses a handful at a time, whisking after each addition until the cheese melts into the sauce. Lift your whisk out of the sauce. If there are still cheese shreds on the whisk, keep stirring. Continue adding the cheese and whisking until all the cheese is melted into the sauce, and then stir the sauce until it's well-combined.
- The sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a mason jar for 3 to 4 days.

3-INGREDIENT CHEESE SAUCE
This velvety-smooth sauce uses real cheddar (not the processed stuff) and comes together in less than 10 minutes. Serve as is with chips, fries, or chili dogs, or transform it into the best queso you've ever had (see below for more on that). Pro tip: Skip the aged cheddar from the fancy cheese counter-the sauce will be even creamier with a block of no-frills cheddar from the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

Steps:
- Pour both large cans of tomatoes into the pot.
- Add the whole stick of butter.
- Skin both onions, cut off the ends, and cut in half and put in the pot.
- Stir with a long wooden spoon, bring to a boil, then set the heat on low and leave on for 1 1/2 hours.
- Pour over your favorite pasta and top with fresh-grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. For a classic cheese sauce, use a sharp cheddar cheese. For a more mild flavor, use a Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese. You can also use a combination of cheeses to create a unique flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your cheese sauce will taste. Use freshly grated cheese, and avoid using pre-packaged or processed cheese.
- Cook the sauce slowly. Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the sauce slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is smooth and creamy.
- Season to taste. Once the sauce is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
- Serve immediately. Cheese sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It will start to thicken as it stands, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
Three-ingredient cheese sauce is a quick and easy recipe that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, vegetables, and even sandwiches. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and versatile cheese sauce that will be a hit with everyone at your table.
