Broccoli and a smoked Mustard Cheese Sauce

Tonight I made corn on the cob, ham, roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli with a smoked mustard cheese sauce.

Smoked Mustard Cheese Sauce

-2 tablespoons butter
-2 tablespoons flour
-1 cup milk
-1/2 teaspoon smoked mustard
-1/2 cup grated havarti cheese

-2 cups grated old cheddar cheese
-1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
-salt and pepper to taste

-in a sauce pan melt butter and stir in flour, once melted allow to cook for a few minutes.  (I find it takes away the raw flour taste, but that could just be me).  Add the cup of milk or cream if your wish.  On medium-low heat add milk.  Continue to stir until thick, then add cheese, and smoked mustard.  I always add a little pepper as well.
