Grandma's Famous Chocolate Sauce

Grandma's Famous Chocolate Sauce
1 cube butter
1 11.5oz package chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk (12 oz. can)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter and chocolate chips. Add milk and powdered sugar. Stir until blended and smooth over medium heat. Boil 5 min. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool and refrigerate (thickens after cold). Great to dip things in, to make hot chocolate, or on vanilla ice cream (our favorite).

Magic Cheese Sauce:

2 T. butter or margarine
2 T. flour
Dash pepper
Dash salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 c. shredded cheese (I usually use mozzarella-and not usually as much as it calls for)

Melt the butter in a sauce pan, then add the flour and salt and pepper. Cook and stir for a minute or two, then add the milk all at once. Turn the heat up to medium high, and stir frequently. Cook until bubbly, plus one minute more. Remove from heat, and add the cheese and stir. You may want to add more salt to taste.

We use this to top pasta (I like it with Barilla Plus Penne Pasta), rice, steamed broccoli, and/or grilled salmon (usually I do brown rice, broccoli, and fish all in the same night).

If you're making pasta and have time, it's extra tasty if after you pour the cheese sauce on the pasta (in an oven safe dish), you put the pasta and cheese sauce in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly browned.
