Extra Gooey Mac n Cheese

ohhh boy.

METHOD FOR CHEESE SAUCE:

• Measure out equal amounts of butter and flour. [a roux]
• Dice the butter into small cubes and melt it in a saucepan over low heat.
• Once the butter is melted, begin whisking in the flour.
• When all the flour is incorporated, continue stirring and cooking for a few minutes
• If you're making a white or light-colored cheese sauce, keep the heat low so the roux doesn't brown.
• If the roux is hot, the milk should be cool, but if the roux is cool, the milk should be hot.
• Whisk the mixture until smooth, then add seasonings if you wish.maybe some nutmeg, maybe some garlic, maybe some pepper, but lay off the salt! cheese is salty enough,
• Allow the sauce to simmer until it gets to the consistency you want, then strain out any seasonings.
• Remove the pan from the heat and gently blend in the cheese. If the cheese doesn't seem to be melting, return the pan to very low heat, but watch it carefully and remove as soon as the cheese is melted.

WHAT KIND OF CHEESE?
all kinds, any kind, but keep in mind, some melt faster, some slower. 

IF TOO THICK, OR RICH: you can add milk, and reduce.
