This cheddar cheese sauce makes a spectacular topping that’s so incredibly rich, gooey, and versatile you’ll want to spoon it onto everything. And when we say everything, we mean everything, including the incredibly indulgent Uncle D’s Chili and Cheddar Burger. Or a classic Uncle D’s Chili. Or a baked potato. Or a roasted sweet potato. Or fries. Or broccoli. Or macaroni. Or nachos. Or cauliflower. Or tater tots. Or just use your imagination.
Either way, this homemade cheese sauce recipe is a real eye-catcher. As the author says, “Warm, dripping cheese is never a bad idea.” And it is.–David Leite
