Basic Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:
2 fat Tablespoons butter
1-2 Tablespoons plain flour
1 cup milk
1- 1 1/2 cups cubed or shredded processed cheese like Velveeta
dash or two of black pepper

Instructions:

• Melt butter and whisk in the flour till it is smooth and thickened but not pasty.
• Pour milk into mixture slowly and stir with a wooden spoon.
• Return to medium-to-low heat and stir till mixture starts to thicken a wee bit - maybe 2-3 minutes.
• Add cheese and stir till melted and mixture is thick and ribbon-like when it dribbles off the wooden spoon - a couple of minutes more.
• Add a little pepper to your taste.

We like this drizzled over broccoli and cauliflower but what isn't good with a little cheese sauce on it?
