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

Method
 

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