Cheese Sauce Serving Suggestions

Here’s a few fun ways to use your super easy gluten free cheese sauce:
  • Nacho Cheese Sauce – Make loaded nachos by making a layer of chips, meat, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, black beans, avocado, and any other toppings you enjoy! We like to make nachos with seasoned hamburger, pulled pork, smoked chicken, or leftover brisket.
  • Cheesy Broccoli – After cooking your broccoli, top it with this amazing cheese sauce! Kids LOVE it! (Adding this cheese recipe to broccoli is a great way to get your picky eater to try new vegetables.)
  • Cheesy Hamburger Macaroni – Combine cooked hamburger, gluten free noodles (we like to use Ronzoni macaroni pasta), and this cheese sauce for a delicious homemade version of hamburger macaroni cheese.
  • Easy Queso Dip – Make a simple queso dip by adding one secret ingredient – a small can of diced chilies (drained) to the small saucepan as you melt the cheese. Serve with tortilla chips and you’ll have a real crowd pleaser!
  • Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese – Use this cheese sauce to make a simple homemade macaroni and cheese. Simply prepare your gluten-free pasta and add the cheese at the end. We like to top our mac and cheese with bacon and green onions to make it a main dish!
