How to Make Uncle Bill's Cheese Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
- Return to medium-high heat and gradually whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and 3 tablespoons of milk.
- Add the mustard mixture to the sauce and stir well to combine.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2-3 dashes of Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is slightly thickened and almost comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Add the shredded cheese a handful at a time, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite vegetables or toast.
