This cheddar cheese sauce recipe is really easy to make and can definitely be used on more than just broccoli. We also use this cheese sauce for cauliflower, or whenever a recipe calls for a creamy cheese sauce. It’s a great cheese sauce for potatoes, chicken, in any type of vegetable bake, or makes a simple cheese sauce for pasta.
