1
Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent browning.
2
Create the Roux
Once the butter is fully melted, add the all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and lightly golden.
3
Add the Milk
Gradually pour in the milk, continuing to whisk to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.

4
Add Cheddar and Parmesan
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
5
Season the Sauce
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder to the cheese sauce. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

6
Serve Warm
Remove the sauce from heat and serve immediately over pasta, vegetables, or as a dip.
