Simple Cheese Sauce

This sauce is really easy to make, comes out really smooth and creamy and is great anytime you need/want a cheese sauce.

3T Butter
3-4T Flour

Melt butter in a pot and add in the flour and stir until blended and a light golden color. You're basically making a roux.

2C milk (or whipping cream for a richer flavor)

Slowly add in the milk, whisking the entire time.

4c grated cheese (generally sharp cheddar but most cheeses will work so try your fav)

Slowly whisk in the cheese. Once completely melted add salt and pepper to taste and 1-2 drops of hot sauce. The hot sauce will bring out the flavor ... don't add too much unless you like your mac'n'cheese spicy!
