How To Make Velveeta Cheese Sauce
Ingredients needed
- Butter
- Velveeta
- All-purpose flour
- Milk
- Salt
Quick tip before starting
Allow the sauce to cool before serving a little bit. Serve it warm but when you are cooking it’s extremely hot and a little thin looking. It’ll cool down to where it won’t burn the top of your mouth and it’ll be much thicker and the creamy texture it should be.
Making the Velveeta cheese sauce easily
- First, cut the velveeta cheese up to cubes. This will make the melting process faster.
- In a sauce pot, add in the butter on medium heat. Allow the butter to melt down then toss the flour on top.
- Cook the flour a bit into the butter until it has begin to bubble a bit. Now, pour the milk into the pot.
- Then, add the Velveeta cheese into the pot as well.
- Occasionally stir the pot as the milk heats ups and melts the cheese as well. After about 5-10 minutes the milk will begin to thicken as well as the cheese completely melting.
- After the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, turn off the heat. Allow the sauce to cool to the point you can add salt to taste without burning your mouth. Serve once the salt it just right.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to do you melt Velveeta for sauce?
This is the recipe to do this. With the dips people always run into trouble with the cheese becoming hard quickly and this sauce prevents that issue.
Do I need milk when melting Velveeta?
I highly recommend adding milk because Velveeta on it’s own will become hard. The milk prevents this from happening. Even natural cheese hardens back to a solid when it begins to cool.
Is Velveeta cheese good for melting?
It’s the best cheese to melt. Because it’s processed they are able to add things that a natural cheese does’t have that makes Velveeta super creamy.
