The sauce tastes great! I used an 8 oz block of roasted tomato/black pepper Cheddar/Gruyere (grated at home). I had to adjust the milk quantity significantly, adding at least another cup to get the sauce to the “thick” stage for a cheesy bechamel. If you prefer a thinner cheese sauce, consider a different ratio fat:flour:milk. The ratio for typical smooth bechamel is 2:2:1 (fat:flour:milk). Like I said, this cheese sauce is very tasty, plus it skips the butter in favor of heart healthy olive oil which leaves you a little wiggle room for using a great cheese (not so heart healthy)! My husband loved it!

Thanks, Lindsay!

I sauteed half a small onion and 2 cloves of garlic (finely diced) instead of powder
I used Havarti Cheese

It was sooo good! Glad I found this recipe for a butter-less sauce before the others cause my family couldn’t get enough!

I agree. I like to use spicy hummus for a spice factor but if I use plain, I think paprika would be great!

Some spices or herbs would match well with the cheese

Like chili powder, etc
