Preparation & Use

Whisk the measured dry mix into hot water according to the ratio on the canister label until fully dissolved and smooth. For a richer sauce, substitute part or all of the water with warm milk. Hold finished sauce on a steam table at or above 140°F; stir periodically to maintain a uniform consistency. Refrigerate unused portions promptly and reheat gently with a small amount of liquid to restore flow.

Common Applications

Beyond mac and cheese and nachos, this cheddar sauce works as a baked potato bar topping, a base for cheese soups, a finishing sauce for scrambled eggs and breakfast burritos, and a binder for hot dish casseroles. Its neutral salt balance pairs well with added seasonings such as jalapeño, garlic, or smoked paprika when you want to build a signature house sauce from a consistent starting point.
