About Cheddar cheese sauce

Cheddar cheese sauce is a creamy, savory condiment made primarily from melted cheddar cheese, milk or cream, and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch. Commonly seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes mustard or paprika, this rich sauce is a staple in American and British cuisines, often accompanying comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, nachos, baked potatoes, or steamed vegetables. While cheddar cheese provides protein and calcium, the sauce is typically high in saturated fat and sodium, making it a less healthy option when consumed in large quantities. Some versions may include substitute ingredients designed to make a lower-fat or reduced-sodium version. Versatile and indulgent, cheddar cheese sauce is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
