Notes

  • If you have time, melt the butter in the bottom of the pan first, add the milk/cream and then add the cheeses.  This helps melt the cheese more quickly and helps keep it from wanting to burn to the bottom of the pan. 
  • Experiencing lumps in your sauce?  Just whisk it really hard and fast for about 1-2 minutes. 
  • It's fine to substitute any lower fat milk or cheese for these ingredients, just understand that the end result may not be as thick or creamy or cheesy. 
  • If you find that your sauce has started to burn to the bottom of the pan, asses the damage.  How much is burnt? If a lot, transfer the sauce you have into a new pan and keep heating.  If it isn't much, just don't worry about it but keep it stirred more frequently.  It WILL burn to the bottom of you don't stir it frequently. 
  • Best advice?  Have a sink of warm soapy water ready and after your pour the sauce over whatever you are eating it with, put the cooking pan in the sink to soak.  The cheese comes off easily then.
