The Best Blue Cheese Sauce

There’s just something about a homemade Blue Cheese Sauce that makes everything better! Whether I’m whipping up a quick dip for crispy wings, drizzling it over a perfectly grilled steak, or slathering it on a juicy burger, this sauce always delivers on flavor. The best part? It takes just 10 minutes and four simple ingredients to make. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it! 

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick & Easy – This sauce comes together in just 10 minutes with minimal effort.
  • Versatile – Use it on steaks, wings, burgers, veggies, and more!
  • Rich & Creamy – The combination of blue cheese and sour cream creates the perfect texture and flavor.
  • Customizable – Choose your favorite variety of blue cheese to adjust the texture to your liking.

Sauce Origins

This Blue Cheese Sauce was originally a part of my Fancy Filet Mignon recipe—a thick, juicy steak topped with a rich balsamic glaze, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and this dreamy blue cheese sauce. But after realizing just how versatile and delicious it is, I knew it deserved its own spotlight! It’s incredibly easy to make, and once you try it, you’ll want to put it on everything.

Sauce Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe comes together with just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge:

  • Mayonnaise – I recommend Best Foods or Hellman’s for the best flavor.
  • Sour Cream – Adds that perfect creamy tang.
  • Worcestershire Sauce – Don’t skip this! It deepens the umami flavor and balances the tanginess.
  • Blue Cheese – The variety of blue cheese you use will change the texture of the sauce.
    • For a chunkier sauce, go with Danish Blue or Roquefort.
    • For a smoother, meltier texture, choose Stilton or Gorgonzola.

How to Make Blue Cheese Sauce

Making this sauce is incredibly easy, and it only takes a few simple steps:

  1. Warm the Base – In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and gently warm the mixture. Be careful not to let it bubble—you want it warm, not boiling!
  2. Add the Blue Cheese – Once the mixture is warm, stir in the blue cheese. Some of it will melt into the sauce, while some chunks will remain, giving it a wonderful texture.
  3. Serve & Enjoy – You can serve this sauce warm or chilled. Drizzle it over steak, use it as a dip, or spread it on a sandwich—the possibilities are endless!

How to Use Blue Cheese Sauce

Honestly, this sauce is so good, I could eat it with a spoon! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:

  • Over Steak – Drizzle it over filet mignon, prime rib, or even a simple grilled steak for an instant flavor boost. Garnish with chives or green onions for extra freshness.
  • Dipping Sauce for Wings – It’s the perfect match for buffalo wings or crispy chicken tenders.
  • Veggie Dip – Serve it on a crudité platter with carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Burger or Sandwich Spread – Slather it on burgers, wraps, or sandwiches for a rich, tangy twist.
  • Salad Dressing – Thin it out with buttermilk and a dash of salt and pepper for a homemade blue cheese dressing.
  • Drizzle Over Baked Potatoes – A dollop of this sauce makes any baked potato irresistible.
  • French Fry Dip – Trust me, you’ve got to try this with crispy fries!

Questions about Blue Cheese Sauce

Is blue cheese dressing the same as blue cheese dipping sauce?

Dipping sauces, like this recipe, are a little thicker than dressings. If you are looking for a blue cheese salad dressing, then check out our recipe.

Is blue cheese actual cheese?

Yes! Blue cheese is made using a special strain of mold called Penicillium. While that might sound intimidating, it’s completely safe to eat and gives blue cheese its signature tangy, funky flavor.

What does blue cheese sauce taste like?

Blue cheese sauce has a rich, tangy, and slightly salty flavor with a creamy texture. The boldness of the blue cheese is balanced by the sour cream and mayonnaise, making it smooth and delicious.

How do you make blue cheese sauce thicker?

If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less sour cream or mayonnaise. Alternatively, you can blend in more blue cheese crumbles or let the sauce chill in the refrigerator, as it thickens slightly when cold.

Can I make blue cheese sauce without mayonnaise?

Yes! If you prefer a mayo-free version, substitute it with Greek yogurt for a tangy, creamy alternative that’s just as delicious.

Storing & Freezing Blue Cheese Sauce

Storing: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a good stir before using it again, as it may thicken slightly when chilled.

Freezing: While technically possible, I don’t recommend freezing blue cheese sauce. The dairy components can separate and alter the texture when thawed. If you do freeze it, store it in an airtight container for up to 2 months and whisk it well after thawing.
