Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and warm the mixture until it starts to simmer, but do not boil.
  2. Stir in cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese to the warm cream mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Add garlic powder and mix: Sprinkle in the garlic powder and stir thoroughly to blend the flavor throughout the sauce. Remove from heat and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
  • Adjust garlic powder to taste or substitute with garlic salt if preferred.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a splash of heavy cream or water.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the cheese sauce from hardening as it cools.
  • This sauce pairs well with steamed vegetables, grilled meats, or as a dip for keto-friendly snacks.
