Easy Keto Cheese Sauce – Great for Veggies, Meat, and Keto Pasta!
Who doesn’t love a good cheese sauce?
Whisking up this heavenly keto cheese sauce is so simple thanks to a few common ingredients and only 15 minutes. Not bad for an addition that makes such a big impact on any dish! Better yet, the kids will absolutely love it… even on veggies!
Hip Recipe Tips:
-
- This keto cheese sauce is perfect over your favorite meat, vegetables, and even keto-friendly pasta! You could even drizzle it over our Chipotle-inspired keto burrito bowl! YUM!
-
- I used cheddar and Monterey Jack but you could change up the cheeses to suit your taste. Omitting the Monterey Jack and subbing in smoked gouda would be a delicious alternative!
-
- This recipe makes enough to fill two pint-sized jars, so you can use half right away and save the other half for later.
-
- To reheat, simply heat the cheese sauce in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds and stir.

This velvety keto cheese sauce mixes two flavorful cheese varieties to create a melty, delicious addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup medium or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Directions
1
In a small saucepan, melt butter and cream cheese over low-medium heat. Add in pepper and whisk continuously.
2
Slowly pour in heavy whipping cream and continue whisking for 4 minutes.
3
Add in cheese and whisk until cheese has completely melted - about 3 minutes. The longer you let the cheese sauce simmer, the thicker the cheese will get. This should take about 7-8 minutes to get a thick cheese sauce.
4
Serve immediate over your favorite keto-friendly vegetables, chicken, or keto noodles.
5
For leftovers, pour remaining sauce into a mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Enjoy!
