Blue Cheese Sauce
Description
The Blue Cheese Sauce recipe blends mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce warmed together before folding in blue cheese crumbles. The blue cheese partially melts into the mix, leaving a sauce that's creamy yet textured with chunks. This sauce delivers a savory, tangy flavor characteristic of blue cheese with smooth richness from the mayo and sour cream. It can be served either warm or chilled, adapting to various meal uses.
It pairs well as a drizzle on grilled or roasted meats such as steaks and prime rib, or as a dipping sauce for classic buffalo wings. The tangy, creamy blend also complements fresh vegetables on a crudité platter, and it can be spread on burgers and sandwiches to add depth. Additionally, it serves as the base for a creamy salad dressing by adding buttermilk, salt, and pepper.
This sauce is easy to make and holds well, allowing it to enhance many dishes where a pungent, creamy blue cheese component is desired. Its preparation requires gentle warming to meld flavors without overheating, preserving its texture.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise Best Foods or Hellman's brand
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, mix together mayo, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture is warm, but not bubbling.
- When the sauce is warm, stir in the blue cheese. A lot of it will melt, but the sauce will be a little chunky. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- Use this sauce as a warm or cold accompaniment for various dishes including steak, wings, vegetables, sandwiches, and baked potatoes.
- Mix with buttermilk, salt, and pepper to prepare a creamy salad dressing.
