Any sauce recipe that involves starting out with melted butter and flour has always been problematic for me. I'm not sure why, though the last time I tried it while making a sauce for a pot pie recipe, I was rather disappointed in the results. I recall it being bland and definitely not as creamy as I would have liked. My sister claimed it was pretty good in the tofu pot pie I made her... though I reckon that's because the tofu absorbed a lot of the liquid! I don't know why today's lunch should have been any different... possibly it was in the way I cooked it? Didn't follow a recipe; I totally winged it.
I started with melted butter and flour, and milk. I added a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, hot sauce, onion and jalapenos, and wound up with a thick, creamy, cheesy sauce with a nice amount of kick to it (I also added a liberal amount of ground cayenne). Yum!
