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.
