Kids' Favorite Cheese Sauce

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 -2 tablespoon sugar

Recipe

• 1 dice the cheddar cheese (medium or mild is best) into 1/2 inch cubes.
• 2 melt in double boiler on medium heat or in microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring frequently to help it melt.
• 3 once the cheese is about half melted, stir in the mayonnaise a tablespoon or two at a time. depending on the desired consistency, you may wish to adjust the amount of mayonnaise.
• 4 when the cheese is thoroughly melted, slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. the sauce should have a grainy texture once it has enough milk.
• 5 add salt and sugar to taste. sharper cheeses generally need more sugar and less salt. (note: i tried using low fat mayonnaise the other day, and it turned out much sweeter than i wanted. it still tasted great on the broccoli, but apparently low-fat mayo has sugar in it, so check your ingredients!).
• 6 pour over cooked broccoli or fried/poached eggs and serve. to reheat, place in microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring each time.
