Cajun Seasoning and Sauce Instructions

1. In a small spice jar or mason jar, combine all the spices for the Cajun seasoning blend. Add a lid and shake to combine and set aside. Note: You will not use all of this so do not dump it all into the sauce. Save excess in a jar in the pantry for future use.
2. In a large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat.
3. Once the butter is completely melted, reduce the heat and slowly mix in the flour stirring constantly. This should yield a smooth paste like texture. This is your roux.
4. Then slowly whisk in 1/2 tbsp of the Cajun seasoning and the salt. This will create a thick red orange paste.
5. Slowly pour in the milk stirring continuously. Increase the heat to medium still stirring until the buttery Cajun roux combines completely with the milk. About a minute or two. Make sure the roux is not sitting on the bottom of the saucepan or it will burn.
6. Add the cheese a little at a time stirring until combined. Again make sure the cheese isn’t settling to the bottom and burning.
7. Simmer on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. DO NOT allow the sauce to boil. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
8. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if the sauce needs thinning out until desired consistency is reached. Sauce should be a little thick for pizza.
