cheese sauce
 

mom would add a touch of dried ground mustard powder to cheese sauce to enhance the cheese flavor.

cheese saucec- white sauce with cheese added to it.

i do that with my mac & cheese too. hubby hates mustard, swears he can always taste it in anything, but nearly 40 years & he's never discovered the touch of powdered mustard i add to mac & cheese, macaroni salad dressing or anything else :o

I will have to try that. I make cheese sauce all the time.

I aggree with the mustard. A small dash of worchestershire is also nice.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sneaks things my DH doesn't like into foods. If he doesn't know it's in there, he'll eat it. I once fixed frozen squash and told him it was sweet potatoes. He didn't know the difference. I think it was a Green Giant product but I haven't been able to find it again. The color was the same as sweet potatoes.

Laughing! :) My DML always had to have Green Giant peas when she visited. Said she could tell the difference! So at the first meal I served them, kept the empty can under the sink, 2 weeks later when we had peas again they were the store brand. I hid that can, put the old can on the counter. When I asked if the peas were OK, she said yes, she could always tell Green Giant. My husband nearly choked trying not to laugh. :)

i've cooked for 40 years. Now hubby watches and says "don't put that in" I say I always put that in. He eats it , says he now doesn't like it. I make it same when he not watches, says it taste great. So now, I don't let him watch...lol

You all are cracking me up!!! Thanks for the laughs. I do it too, and my DH grumbles. :)

Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika with the mustard powder to further enhance the flavour. It does not make it hot, just gives additional depth to the sauce. Works well in cheese biscuits too.

Oh yes, I do that too! If you want a real cheesy flavor, you can also add a little nutritional yeast. Lots of great ideas!
