Cheese Sauce for Pretzels
Description
Make your own cheese sauce for pretzels in a few minutes. A great dip and leftovers keep in the fridge for a few days.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
•
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
•
1 cup whole milk, or more as needed
•
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
•
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions
1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2
Stir in the milk, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and salt. Cook until mixture starts to bubble and thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.
3
Remove from heat and gradually stir in Cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken as it cools, so if necessary, add a little more milk to reach dipping consistency.
