How to Make Cheesy Garlic Sauce For Vegetables
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper until smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 4 ounces of cream cheese to the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the butter and cream cheese are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 cup (8 ounces) of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue to stir constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low or remove from heat and continue stirring until the sauce slightly cools and thickens further, about 1-2 minutes. This allows the sauce to fully incorporate the cheese.
- Serve immediately over your favorite cooked vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
