Recipe: Easy Cheese Sauce (gluten-free, microwave)

EASY CHEESE SAUCE

"Easy Cheese Sauce is the perfect topper for a "loaded" baked potato, a plate of hot steamed vegetables, or pasta shells or elbow macaroni for homemade "Mac 'N Cheese." The secret to this rich, velvety smooth, gluten-free, cheddar sauce is corn starch."

1 cup cold milk
1 tablespoon Argo or Kingsford's Corn Starch
2 tablespoons butter OR margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fine grind black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Stir milk gradually into corn starch in a small microwave-safe dish until smooth. Add butter, salt and pepper.

Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Microwave an additional 30 to 60 seconds, until thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese until smooth.

Serve over broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus or baked potatoes.
