Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz. cheddar cheese (shredded, **See Notes)

Instruction

  • Shred the cheddar cheese and set it aside, it should be at room temperature when you add it to the sauce.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan.
  • Whisk in flour. Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes, until you can no longer smell flour.
  • Slowly add the milk in splashes, whisking continuously as you do so. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Gradually sprinkle in the cheddar cheese, whisking constantly as you do so. Continue to whisk until the mixture is well-combined.
  • Let the sauce continue to heat over low heat, it may appear thin at first but it will continue to thicken upon standing.
  • Once it's reached your desired level of thickness, remove it from the heat and serve!
