Bacon Mornay Sauce

I tagged I'mPat's Creamy Tuna Stuffed Spuds (Potatoes) and there was no recipe there for this very tasty, easy to make, sauce so here it is. You could mix it up with the cheese. I used 1/2 Swiss cheese and 1/2 Parmesan cheese. You can use this on noodles, potatoes or rice.

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  slices bacon
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
• 3  tablespoons flour
• 2  cups milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
• 2  ounces cheese, Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, your choice 4ozs if using cheddar or 2  ounces  other milder cheese

Directions

1. Fry bacon.
2. Remove bacon from pan; add butter.
3. Add flour; purists say don't brown flour but I do because I don't like a raw flour taste, and I cook on high (sigh).
4. Add milk.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Cook until thickened.
7. Add cheese. crumble up bacon and add here.
