White Sauce or Cheddar White Sauce created by Becca Leigh C.

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.

I am desperately searching for a mozzarella cheese sauce recipe that will copycat Ragu Creamy Mozzarella Sauce. They have discontinued that and my 6 year old grandson LOVED it. I have tried making a white sauce and adding mozzarella cheese but it doesn't taste anywhere the same. If someone can help me I would surely appreciate it.

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.
