Super easy and basic cheese sauce that produces a really delicious and non-Velveeta semi-liquid for all your cheese sauce purposes. Good for casseroles, vegetables, mac and cheese, and even my preferred usage: nachos!

Ingredients
- 65g butter
- 75g flour
- 250g cheese, grated or chopped finely (I used cheddar)
- 400ml milk
- salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric, other spices
Instructions
- Melt the butter completely in a saucepan over low heat.
- Make a roux by adding flour and stirring contentiously until completely combined and forming a paste.
- Add about half the milk in slowly, making sure to stir continuously to keep the sauce smooth.
- Add in the cheese, spices, and the rest of the milk slowly.
- When the cheese is completely melted you can adjust the flour or milk in order to adjust consistency.
- Pour over things while warm.
Notes
- I feel like if you add a touch of butter or oil at the end it may stay liquid longer but I didn't and simply re-heated for 3-4 minutes to pour it again.
