Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 Tablespoon corn starch ((or all-purpose flour))
1 cup milk (, plus more as needed)
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese or Velveeta
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1-3 teaspoons hot sauce (I prefer Frank's) (, plus more to taste)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the butter, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Warm the milk in the microwave 15 to 20 seconds. Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan, while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until thickened (but still pourable). Watch it carefully.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until smooth. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Stir in salt and pepper. Add amount of hot sauce you prefer. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in 1 to 2 Tablespoons warmed milk.
  • Place in a mini crockpot to keep warm and gooey. If it thickens, reheat in the microwave 15 seconds. Serve with pretzels, tortilla chips, or vegetables.
