Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the Cream: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

2. Add the Cream Cheese and Butter: Add the cream cheese and butter to the saucepan, stirring continuously until they are fully melted and incorporated into the cream.

3. Incorporate the Cheddar Cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, a little at a time, stirring continuously until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Simmer and Thicken: Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

6. Serve: Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately. It pairs well with steamed vegetables, grilled meats, or as a dip for keto-friendly snacks.

Tips

• If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little more heavy cream or some unsweetened almond milk.

• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring frequently.

Enjoy your rich and creamy Keto Cheese Sauce!
