I've made a cheese sauce like this many times before, but for some reason they generally don't come out as well as this recipe did. Of course, I usually don't measure out my ingredients as carefully as I did this time. Therefore I do recommend you use this recipe for your cheese sauces. I also added some dry mustard, and used a low fat cheddar cheese and low fat milk to reduce calories. I roasted a bag of frozen cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. Very tasty, thanks!

I fixed this for supper and Alan and I really liked it. It didn't become mushy like when I had boiled or steamed it. Since there wasn't a lot of water still in the cauliflower the cheese sauce stayed perfect and did not get runny and run off the cauliflower. I only had cheddar so you can probably use whatever cheese you have on hand.
