Ingredients

  • 1 sack frozen French fries, any brand or shape – crinkle cut, thin cut, steak cut, waffle fries – prepared to package directions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 1/2 cups, (10-ounce) sack shredded yellow Cheddar
  • 3 squirts ketchup, about 1/4 cup

Directions

Have your GH (Grown Helper) put fries in oven on a cookie sheet. While fries are baking in the oven, have a GH place a sauce pot on the stove and heat it over medium heat. Add butter and melt it. Add the flour and stir. Cook butter and flour together for 1 minute or so. This is called "roux" (like Tiger and Roo with Pooh Bear) and it helps to thicken up sauces. Use a whisk to stir as the milk goes into the pot. Keep stirring until the milk gets thicker. Use a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula to stir in the cheese. When all of the cheese melts, take the sauce off the heat and stir in 3 squirts of ketchup. This is your SECRET ingredient. When everyone asks what you put in your cheese sauce that makes it taste so good, just say milk and cheese, you can NEVER tell what secret ingredients you add! Tell your GH to keep the secret, too or they can never help you again!

Pour the sauce over the fries or serve the sauce on the side if you like to dipping better.

    Not worth it

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    Although this was incredibly easy to make, the texture was awful, and the flavor was lacking. I prefer to make cheese sauce... with Velveeta cheese, and I think I will stick with that. Good idea, bad execution.Read more

    a hit with the kids

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    the kids loved this recipe. we ate it with burgers & hot dogs and they were dipping those in the cheese sauce too. my sister... commented on the smoothness of the sauce and asked for the recipe... so it must have been good. I didn't think it was the best, but was pretty good... will make this again. Thanks Rachael!Read more
