Cheese Sauce for Fries (Printable Format)

Velvety cheese sauce with cheddar and a hint of heat, ideal for fries or classic snacks.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Cheese Mixture

01 - 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
02 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch

→ Sauce Base

03 - 1 can (12 fluid ounces) evaporated milk, divided
04 - 2 teaspoons hot sauce

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine grated cheddar cheese and cornstarch in a bowl, ensuring the cheese is evenly coated.
02 - Transfer the coated cheese to a saucepan. Add 1 cup of evaporated milk and hot sauce.
03 - Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly. The sauce will appear thin or grainy at first, but after about 5 minutes of stirring, it will become smooth and creamy.
04 - If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the remaining evaporated milk, stirring until the desired consistency is reached.
05 - Pour the cheese sauce warm over fries, nachos, burgers, or hot dogs and serve immediately.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best results, use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded varieties, as it melts more smoothly.
