- ***Note***.
- The last time I made this, I had some leftover cheese sauce I needed to use up so I threw it in and it was great! Made a creamier casserole that I actually preferred, but since the rest of the family likes both versions equally, I'm just addding this as a note.
- Here's the cheese sauce if you're intereseted:.
- 2 Tablespoons butter.
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- 1 cup milk.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper (or to taste).
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard.
- Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt, cheese and dry mustard.
