An excellent recipe for cheese sauce. This could be great with other vegetables as well. We cut the cauliflower and steamed it rather than boil it as we prefer steamed vegetables. It was wonderful.

Very good, very tasty. I just made the sauce to put over broccoli. I used two cups cheddar and it was thick and yummy. You can really change up the sauce depending on what you want to have it go with. It would make a good mexican dip without the thyme, but adding cayenne, onion and tomatoes and black beans. Very fine recipe.

I used this sauce over broccoli - delicious and very easy to prepare. I poured the rest of the sauce over the remaining broccoli and reheated it this afternoon - it may have even been better the second day. Thanks for this one!
