Melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the flour. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the flour is slightly browned. Reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the milk. Season with a pinch of nutmeg and a sprinkle of salt/pepper. Continue to whisk and cook over low to medium heat, until the mixture is slightly thickened and smooth. Add in the grated cheese, and melt & stir over low heat until everything is incorporated. Season to taste with paprika, mustard, and more salt, if desired.

Oh boy–lots of stuff! • Serve on top of a loaded baked potato • Drizzle over tortilla chips for the ultimate nacho experience • Use it to garnish veggies (roasted broccoli comes to mind) • Mix it with cooked pasta for quick homemade mac n’ cheese. • Use it as a dip for veggies, or crackers, or??
• Mix in some chili peppers or salsa for an awesomely spicy twist • Eat it out of a bowl with a spoon *cough* I did not just type that Cheese Sauce Recipe Notes • You can really use any type of cheese here.

Other varieties will be delicious as well–although I usually steer clear of mozzarella, since it has the tendency to get all stringy and clumpy when it melts.
• This cheese sauce recipe will keep in the fridge for a while–although it will turn rather gelatinous. Just reheat it in a saucepan to get it all nice and liquidy again. • Taste as you go and season accordingly.
