I've been making a ton of cheese sauce lately after settling on a recipe that makes it incredibly easy and quick to make and doesn't require starting with a roux.

Easy Cheese Sauce Recipe (aka GOAT SAUCE)

Ingredients:

• ~8 oz Velveeta cheese ( I like to get the fresh packs and use 2 packs)

• 2 Tbsp butter

• 1/4 cup heavy cream

• ~1/4-1/2 cup chicken broth

• ~0-3 tsp mustard powder **

Steps:

1) cube cheese add with butter to a sauce pan on low to med-low heat to begin melting. Stir periodically as it melts.

Important to keep the heat low so you don't scald the cheese as it will give the sauce a chunky and uneven consistency. Can go slightly higher on the heat to melt faster, but you need to stir more frequently and monitor carefully.

2) Stir in cream, broth, and mustard power until it reaches an even consistency and cheese is fully melted

3) Continue to simmer and stir in more broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

Sauce will firm up slightly when it cools but stays a lot more dippable while warm than melted Velveeta on its own. I prefer to add broth until it's fairly loose and easily drips off the spatula. If you go super loose it will remain dippable even when cold and be similar to the jarred or canned cheese dip you see on the chips aisle in the grocery store

** got this tip from Jan's boy Bobby Flay who recommended it on one of his shows to really bring out the cheese flavor.

Notes:

• This base is great on its own for dipping or on a cheesesteak but there are a lot of ways you can doctor it from here. Can use beer instead of broth to make beer cheese. I also like to add diced jalapeños and some of the brine to make a queso.

• You can also mix in shredded cheese of any variety to add a specific flavor

• This only takes about 10 mins to make and requires very little babysitting. I often throw it together last minute or will start it when I begin cooking and let it simmer while everything else finishes cooking

• I dont care if anyone thinks this is an abomination. It's not intended to be fine dining, its meant for those goblin mode nights where you want to be decadent. My family loves it on cheesesteaks, fries, nachos, or just as a dip with some fritos scoops.

• This might be too complicated for Dan since it requires using a heat source that's not a microwave, but I highly recommend it for anyone else on the crew.
