White Sauce or Cheddar White Sauce

Submitted by SmHerndon

"For use in my Vegetable Melange Au Gratin recipe (#111644). Great for vegetables, omelets, souffles. For a richer white sauce, substitute light cream for milk, omitting salt. Can be made thinner for soups."

This was the perfect consistency for mac and cheese. The only thing I did differently was warm the milk before adding it. This is perfect. Next time baked potatoes and steamed veggies.

I doubled the cheese (I used WHITE CHEDDAR) It was AWESOME! We all LOVED it! Definitely will use this in the future for Mac & Cheese. I also used it w/o cheese as a cream sauce for over cauliflower. Very tasty.
