Sounds like an excellent sauce. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
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.
