Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 c béchamel sauce
1/4 tsp mild paprika
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1 1/2 c sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Make the béchamel sauce (1 ½ cups); in a medium pot over medium heat, add butter. When melted, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes or until it smells like cooked pie crust. Add 1 cup milk, whisk and then a little at a time, whisking constantly. Add salt and white pepper.
  • 2. To make the cheese sauce; add paprika and mustard powder to the béchamel sauce before stirring in cheese; whisk until melted. Spoon over steamed vegetables and serve immediately. Makes 3 cups
  • 3. Note: If not using right away, cover with wax paper making sure it touches the surface - this will prevent a skin from forming
