Answer 3

Yes, make a simple white sauce and THEN add grated cheese slowly until you get it as cheesey as you want. From the recipes below, I would use the thinnest white sauce if you are going to add cheese.

From Cooks.com
White Sauce is the base sauce used as an ingredient in the preparation of many casseroles, soups, gravies and sauces. It can also be used as a simple thickener for stews and existing gravies.
Following the basic recipes below, suggestions are given for a number of ways in which white sauce can be used. You will, no doubt, have many creative ideas of your own.

When looking for new ideas for weeknight meals, don't forget white sauce and the variations below, which can help transform leftovers into an entirely new dish - even better than the original!

The recipes below may be doubled.

THIN WHITE SAUCE:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
MEDIUM WHITE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
THICK WHITE SAUCE:
3 or 4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or one half cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
Melt butter in a sauce pan and whisk in flour and salt until smooth. Gradually stir in cold milk, cooking over direct heat and stirring constantly until sauce boils; reduce heat slightly and continue to stir until sauce becomes smooth and thick. When sauce thickens, simmer for an additional 10 minutes over very low heat, stirring occasionally.
Stir carefully to avoid lumps. If sauce becomes lumpy, use a stick blender or rotary beater to blend out lumps or else press through a sieve. Wondra flour may be used to great advantage since this flour does not have a tendency to lump.

CHEESE SAUCE:
Make one of the white sauces above, and stir in 1/4 - 1 whole cup of grated sharp Cheddar or Monterey Jack or other sharp cheese. Stir until cheese melts. One quarter to one half cup of chopped jalapeno peppers may be added for Nacho cheese sauce.

The easiest way to do it is to chop some garlic and onions, pan fry them in a pot, add some white wine to it, reduce a bit, add some chicken stock, reduce it and then some cream and reduce again. Before serving add grated cheese into it to taste. Season with salt, pepper and serve.
