One thought on “Cajun Cheese Sauce

  1. It’s a great start but the amount of Cajun seasoning is way too much. Most, if not all Cajun seasonings have a lot of salt and it overpowers the amazing creamy, cheese flavor. Not to mention the salt in cheddar cheese. I have modified this recipe as follows:
    2 tbls flour
    2 tbls butter
    1.5 cups milk
    3/4 cup cheddar cheese
    1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
    1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 tsp black pepper

    We tend to like our cheese sauce a bit spicy and it works very well when I serve it with blackened fish.
