The ingredients for Ordinary Cheese Sauce are:

Flour
Margarine
Cheddar Cheese
1% Milk

Here is how you make Ordinary Cheese Sauce:

1. Melt margarine in a small saucepan. A non-stick saucepan is best, but if you don't have one (I don't), just be sure to avoid the sauce burning on to the bottom of it by stirring frequently and maintaining a lower level of heat.2. Mix the flour with the melted margarine in the saucepan using a whisk. Again, a silicone one if your pan is non-stick, and either for any other type.3. Add the milk and bring to a low boil, ensuring that your milk does not boil over. Once it reaches a low boil, reduce the heat to low.4. Add your shredded cheese and stir constantly until it is melted. Feel free to add more or less cheese to achieve your desired strength of cheddar flavour. I personally like a lot, but have reduced it for the sake of consuming less fat. 5. You may also add hot spices such as chilli pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, etc. and serve it with other foods, such as nachos (another no-no for me!) and it's fantastic! **NOTE** If you leave the sauce sitting while you wait for your meal to be ready, you will notice that the top will crust. Just give it a good stir with your whisk again, and you will be ready to go!Serving Size: Serves 4-6 people, depending on how smothered you like your vegetables!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CUTIEBOULIE.
