Ah, cheese sauce.
If only you knew how many pints of cheese sauce I’ve made trying to find the perfect alternative to a regular inSANE one for you. Luckily, cheese sauce is like crack to me, so my mouth has been very happy to participate in this endeavor.
I wrote about the happy day it all went down here, but I’ve had several requests to post the basic Cheese Sauce recipe.
Your wish is my command.

PatPlease post a picture when you can. I would like to see what yours looks like. Thanks…
carriePat – it’s on the list!
PatWhat list? Lol thanks
carrieMy endless recipe blog to-do list, Pat :-)
SallyCarrie, is there a substitute for konjac flour? I have had unpleasant reaction to the konjac.
carrieHi Sally – you could use garbanzo bean flour or guar gum, but you won’t get the same great result. It’s a bummer that you reacted to konjac because it’s so useful for so many things.
Drew ThompsonHi Carrie:

I have used it to make cauliflower cheese and it works a treat – so smooth.

carrieDrew that is fascinating!!! Thanks for sharing.
Debbie HueweHi Carrie,Would arrowroot or ? work well? I am looking for something I have on hand. I’d have to order the konjac flour from Amazon.
carrieHi Debbie – arrowroot is a starch like cornstarch, so would make your sauce inSANE. Konjac is the absolute best SANE thickener I have found for sauces like this.

SamHi. This is a neat recipe. And I have a question. Why is the vinegar so essential here? Thanks for any info.
