Cup of Yum
Arby's Cheese Sauce
- Make the cheddar cheese sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly, and cook for about 1 minute, forming a roux.
- Slowly whisk in milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove from the heat and stir in cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Arby's Sauce
- In a small saucepan combine all the Arby's sauce ingredients.
- Simmer over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Notes
- Feel free to include some additions to your sandwich:
- Packaged shredded cheese is often tossed with cornstarch, which means it won't easily melt into the sauce. We recommend shredding the cheese by hand for best results.
- If the milk and cheese mixture becomes thick, add a small amount of milk and whisk until smooth.
- Add red onion for a fresh kick.
- Use lettuce leaves for crunch and freshness.
- Throw on jalapenos (pickled or fresh) for spice.
- Slices of ripe tomatoes can make this slider very interesting.
- Fried onion rings will add crunch and flavor.
