Bernard Diet Cheese Sauce Base-16 oz.

I purchased this at a school cafeteria sale thinking I could dip tortilla chips or something in it. The smaller batch says mix 1c mix with 2 c water. Followed instructions —> It was very bland, more like white sauce; and a little runny. I tried cooking it to thicken but that didn’t help much.
If I make it again I would use 1 c mix + 1/2c water, (not 2) and add 1T lemon juice to give it some good flavor.
I tried to improve my batch with a carton of sour cream but ended dumping the whole thing. My teen and young adult kids won’t touch this, which leaves me to try to disguise it in soup…or something.
I can either toss these 2 bags and find something else, or try to use it knowing it could be on my shelf a couple of yrs and then I’d toss it bc I couldn’t find a way to use it up.
I’m irritated that I purchased 2 bags of this !

I’m not on a low sodium diet. I do a lot of scratch cooking but was looking for a quick cheese sauce— and even I don’t think I could do much to improve this.

Even though this cheese sauce base is not sodium free, it is relatively low in sodium, about 35 mg of sodium per tablespoon. So it's quite easy to include it in some sauces or sprinkle on top of casseroles without overloading on sodium. It really adds a subtle but good cheddar flavor.

Great! Makes good Mac and cheese. Makes good dip also

I love this cheese sauce. It has a great flavor and adds a nice creaminess to breakfast bowls and nachos. Would like to see instructions for smaller servings rather than just the entire package.

You have to be sodium free for months for this to taste like food.

The flavor was ok, but immediately scream "this tastes like cheese.". It tastes like an institutional cheese sauce. The serving size is after you mix the entire package with a half gallon of water. That done, the amount of sodium per serving isn't impressive. Will not purchase again.

This item was surprising, has good taste, easy to use. Leaps salt down.

I am really enjoying using this cheese product. I love putting it in mashed potatoes and in many other casseroles and dishes that the package does not suggest. Use your imagination and it works!

Make up the sauce, add hamburger cooked with Salsa and put on no salt tortilla chips and you are in heaven.

This product is ok but we preferred the Herb Ox that you used to carry. It had a much more cheesy flavour

I love it on everything you put cheese sauce on. Good with nachos, chili cheese dogs, taco salads, potatoes. The choices are endless. Just make it your own. I love that it’s low sodium too. A big plus for me.

It tastes horrible

THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB! I EAT IT ON PRACTICALLY ANYTHING U CAN MELT CHEESE ON!

I like the stuff. It’s instant, which means it mixes up immediately. You can make it as thin or thick as you want. You mix it with water, so having milk on hand isn’t a problem. So, it’s great for last minute vegetable sauces. It’s low sodium, so it doesn’t have the strong cheddar flavor of other cheese sauce mixes. You can, however, make it tastier by adding some onion powder, garlic powder, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, or paprika (regular or smoked). You can add some unsalted butter or heavy cream to give it a richer mouth-feel. All in all, I’d say it was a good product to have on hand. But, it’ll never be as satisfying as a true cheese sauce with butter, milk, and real cheddar cheese.

IF 5 IS "THE BEST" I GIVE THIS STUFF A "10"......... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT AND I LOVE EVERYTHING I'VE BOUGHT FROM YOUR COMPANY. THANK YOU! KAREN ROUNSVILLE

Do not like it. Wall paper paste would be better.

Very good low sodium cheese sauce. A bag goes a long way.

This cheese mix has a nice creamy texture, but it falls a little bit short of tasting like a good cheese. That being said, with my sodium limitations, it's going to be a fun addition to my holiday snacking.

love love love this stuff!!!

Excellent! I dissolve 2 oz of this cheese base in 4 oz heated vermouth and 8 oz heavy cream for a great sauce.

still pretty good & more healthy, right?

very good, just wish that they would put on the label directions for mixing smaller batches instead of having to figure it out
