Ingredients

2 cups milk

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

4 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper (purists might prefer to use white pepper so it's tasted but not seen)

2 cups grated cheese (my faves? Use a mixture of two or more cheeses for a more authentic and complex cheese sauce - use cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, swiss and even goat cheese)

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Equipment needed: One working stove top, 1-1/2 quart sauce pan, whisk

Directions

With sauce pan on top of stove, put on medium-low heat and add butter, salt and pepper and melt butter slowly .

Once butter is completely melted, add flour and whisk till well combined.

Don't skip those sides, scrape with whisk any of the flour down from the sides of the sauce pan and cook for two minutes.

Slowly add first 1/2 cup of the milk.

Whisk till all bumps are removed and sauce gets a little thick but especially smooth.

Add second 1/2 cup of milk, and do the same as above but bump up heat now to a medium heat.

Next add remaining one cup of milk, stirring while making sure heat is now medium-high.

Continue stirring - hey it's some form of exercise and stir till it bubbles, remembering to scrape the bottom of sauce pan since this is where it will get thick quickly.

Bring heat back down to medium heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of cheese at a time, making sure all is melted prior to adding the next 1/2 cup of cheese.

Continue adding remaining cheese in the same way until all is melted and oh so creamy and smooth.

Add worcestershire sauce and taste-test - see if you would like to add more pepper or salt.

Use as you would for any recipe calling for cheese sauce.

Oh so cheesy and oh so good!

Try making Deviled Cheese Sauce by adding 1 teaspoon of dry mustard and 2 tablespoons of grated onion and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and increase worcestershire sauce to 2 tablespoons - it makes for a great "adult" mac-n-cheese.- Now just add a drizzle of truffle oil before baking - oh my divalisciously fantastic!

You can make a variety of sauces with this basic recipe with swamping out the cheese for other ingredients including sauces such as: Caper white sauce (add 1/2 cup rinsed capers), curry sauce(add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of curry), brown almond sauce (brown 1/2 chopped blanched almonds in the butter before adding the flour - serve this one with baked or broiled fish), mustard sauce (add 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons of dry mustard with dry ingredients, once think add 1 tablespoon horse-radish and 1 teaspoon of grainy mustard.
