Cheese Sauce

This creamy cheese sauce can be made ahead of time, cooled to room temperature, and transferred to a container with a tight-fitting lid. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, and reheated in a saucepan over low heat when ready to use.

    This is a wonderful cheese sauce for mac and cheese. I mixed cheeses; 8 oz. cheddar cheese and 8 oz. monteray cheese. I also added a pinch of nutmeg, a 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
    Bake macaroni and cheese sauce (mixied) for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
