Except for cutting back on the butter just a fraction ~ I followed this recipe exactly as written, although I did halve the recipe. I really love this, I always do my cheese sauce in the microwave, but always made it by memory, although never used butter before. I really did like the addition of the butter (and will not cut back next time), which made for a richer cheese sauce, so I will be making it with butter every time now. A winner for this family, as we all enjoyed it with our roast dinner.

This recipe was made on 7/18/13 for the " Vermont Cheesemakers "Festival " potion of the " Summer Vacation Tour " in the Games Forum. I followed the recipe as it was except,it was made on the stovetop. A "Quality Control Taste "was done and felt it needed a bit of pepper added to it. I think this is a very good basic cheese sauce and I can see it being used for lots of other vegetables. Thanks for posting and," Keep Smiling :) "
