Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Stir the sauce constantly. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Cheddar cheese sauce is best when served fresh.
