Cheese Sauce Mix

Ingredients

• 2 cup dry milk powder
• 1 cup powdered cheese (cheddar or nacho-style)
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoon butter powder (optional, but adds richness)
• 2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional for kick)

Method

1. Combine all dry ingredients and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6-9 months.
2. To make sauce, whisk 1/2 cup of the mix with 1 cup cold water or milk in a small saucepan.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and creamy, about 4-6 minutes.
4. Use in mac and cheese, over vegetables or baked potatoes, in casseroles or rice dishes, or thin with extra liquid for nacho sauce.
