Ingredients for cheese sauce

1 block of cheese grated

1 1/2 cups lactose free milk or milk substitute

2-3 TBS butter, melted

3 TBS gluten free flour

First shred your block of cheese. Cabot Cheddar is my favorite as it is naturally lactose and gluten-free. Also, it’s a VT company! I find the blocks at Trader Joe’s (this happens to be my favorite grocery store!). I have never tried it with pre-shredded cheese, but you could give it a go. (Honestly though fresh shredded is always better!) Now get a microwave-safe bowl. Take your butter and melt it. Add in your flour and milk and heat until thickened.

After to consistency you desire stir in your cheese until its’ melted.

And that’s it an easy cheese sauce that is great with just chips, added to nachos, tacos, chicken wherever you find a need for cheese 😁.

Don’t forget to make last weeks low fodmap salsa to go with it!
