Chili Cheese sauce

Mike Litoris

Thought I'd share my version of this simple and common recipe. I've been playing with this for a while and tried a few spices a bought in Marks and Sparks recently which made a huge difference.

Ingredients
•4 tablespoons real butter
•3 Tablespoons flour
•1 Tablespoon of MS smoked sea salt
•1 Tablespoon of black pepper
•1 1/2 cups of full fat milk
•2 cups grated mature cheddar
•1 Tablespoon of MS Smoked Paprika, Sweet red pepper and Thyme powder
•1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
•6-8 chopped green chillis seeds removed


Directions
1.Melt butter in pot on a medium heat.
2.Remove from heat and stir in the flour.
3.Return to heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly so flour doesn't burn.
4.Turn heat down to low and slowly stir in the milk.
5.Add the spices, paprika, salt, pepper and chopped chilli.
6.Cook for another 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring.
7.Slowly stir in the cheese a bit at a time letting it melt as you add it.
8.Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes, constantly stirring, to let the spices mix with the cheese.

Great as a dip or on Meatballs!!
