Easy Three Cheese Sauce Recipe (10-Minutes) + Video

This creamy Cheese Sauce is made with 3 kinds of cheese and is perfect on pasta, vegetables, or as a savory dip.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup freshly shredded pepper Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces Velveeta cheese (cut into chunks)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. 2Add the flour, salt and cayenne pepper and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to cook out the floury taste. Don’t skip this step. Trust me, floury sauce is not tasty, and cooking it for a minute will also brown the flour, adding a slight nuttiness to your cheese sauce.
3. 3Add the milk, whisking constantly. Simmer until the sauce begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to low.
4. 4Add the cheeses a handful at a time, whisking after each addition until the cheese melts into the sauce. Lift your whisk out of the sauce. If there are still cheese shreds on the whisk, keep stirring. Continue adding the cheese and whisking until all the cheese is melted into the sauce, and then stir the sauce until it’s well-combined.
5. 5The sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a mason jar for 3 to 4 days.
