Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the flour and butter to a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat and whisk the ingredients together until they are combined and slightly thickened. Whisk and cook for about 1 minute.
- Then whisk in the milk. Turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to simmer while you're still whisking. Heat until the mixture has thickened enough to coat a soap. Then remove from the heat.
- Then gradually whisk in the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time until it's all added and well combined. If the cheese sauce is too thicken, gradually add in more milk until the sauce is the consistency that you prefer.
- Stir in the salt and then serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
