Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1.5 Cups Cheese Medium Cheddar, Shredded
  • ¼ Tsp Salt
  • ¼ Tsp Chili Powder

Instructions

  • Put the flour and butter in a small pot
  • Stir the flour and butter together over low heat until they start to foam and bubble
  • Keep cooking and whisking the bubbly mix for another minute or so
  • Add the milk and mix it in with the butter and flour
  • Raise the heat a little and whisk the milk while it comes to a boil
  • When the blend gets to a simmer, it will get thicker
  • Turn off the heat when it gets thick enough to cover a spoon
  • Add a handful of chopped cheddar at a time and stir it into the sauce until it melts
  • Put the pot over a low heat if you need to help the cheese melt. The cheese sauce shouldn't get too hot
  • Add the salt and pepper powder and stir them in after all the cheese has melted into the sauce
  • Check the salt and make any necessary changes
  • If the sauce gets too thick, just add a little more milk and mix it in
