RICH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

1 Cup heavy cream
1/2 Cup water
1 lb cheddar cheese

1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Use a double boiler or place saucepan into a larger pot of boiling water. Add all ingredients, stirring very frequently until smooth (usually about 10 minutes.) Serve warm.

This sauce is great over vegetables - especially cauliflower and broccoli. Or add 1 Tbsp lemon juice to make a cheesy sauce for fish!
