Servings 4 cup of sauce

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix, OR make from a shortcut
  • 3 cups milk, warmed
  • 120 grams Cream cheese, room temp, this is 1/2 of a regular block
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
 

  • This recipe comes together fast, you will want to have all the ingredients measured and ready, in the order they are used, before you begin.
  • Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat then whisk in the flour and cook, whisking often, until it is a thick paste and golden brown. Whisk in the taco seasoning and cook 30 seconds more.
  • Whisk in the milk 1 cup at a time, bring to a simmer then repeat with the milk, it will start out very thick and will thin as more milk is added. When done adding milk, bring to a low simmer and cook 5 more minutes, whisking often. Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until smooth. Can be used right away or stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. When reheating, slowly bring to a boil before use.

Notes

Cream cheese will cost about 60 Baht, Cheddar about 170 Baht, and the Parmesan about 75 Baht. Figure 4 uses from 4 cups of sauce, this is about $2.25 per use.
