I have to be the worst cook in the world, and I made this! It was great - I added sharp cheddar, salt, pepper, garlic, and cubed chicken. Served it over pasta. Yum!

Perfect starter sauce! I made mac and cheese by adding some colby jack and cheddar cheese. I'll use this easy recipe from the rest of my life, I'm sure.

This sauce is wonderful! It is a great base :) I added a crushed garlic clove, basil, parsley, pepper, salt, and a bit of parmesean cheese, like suggested. I then mixed it with pasta and it was a wonderfully cheesy dinner! I also use this basic recipe with margarine instead of butter and soy milk- 1/2 as much) as a substitute for cheese in quiches when I cook non-dairy; i just cook it down until it is a thick consistency. It tastes amazing and has wonderful texture.

Tonight I was cooking carrots for dinner and remembered my mom making a white sauce for them. Google brought me to this simple recipe. It was EXACTLY as I remembered it... we put it on top of a serving of cooked carrots, and of course add salt. I cannot wait to try some variations of this base sauce.

super simple for my first white sauce. i added some mozzarella, feta, pepper, bits of bacon, and oregano. it is freakishly fast to make, as well.

yes, left as is, it is bland, but I do agree with other reviewers, this is a wonderful base to add your own seasonings to...I used different cheeses to create a cheese sauce with a little bite for my kids veggies...I am keeping this recipe to use again later and experiment with

The trick is getting a thick and smooth sauce without the flour lumps next time I'll try the "pre-mixing flour with water" trick... Thanks this is a great base you could work alot of magic with this sauce!!!
