Easy Cheesy Sauce

Does it get any better than cheese sauce? In my mind (and definately in Brad's) it's pretty hard to beat!

Normally, I would have used my old stand by cheese sauce recipe from my mom but this blog is about trying new recipes so I thought that I would throw caution to the wind and try a new one.

I wanted to try this particular recipe because it is gluten free and if it passes the test can be used in the future when I have my sister or any other gluten free friends over for dinner.

The recipe is from Quinoa 365 and can be found on page 39.

EASY CHEESY SAUCE

2 cups milk

1/3 cup quinoa flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (I used a tad more)

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded aged cheddar cheese

Whisk together the milk, flour, salt, mustard and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk frequently until the sauce thickens and covers the back of a spoon, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the cheddar cheese.

 

RATINGS:

Everyone - 9.5 - "Mmmmm cheese sauce"

NOTE:

I really like the texture and flavor of the quinoa flour in this sauce and it is is really nice to work with because it doesn't form lumps like wheat flour.
