Ingredients
Base Ingredients
Preparation
1. Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat until it is completely melted and bubbly, but not browned.
2. Make the Roux
Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the melted butter. Whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.
3. Add Milk
Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Incorporate Cheese
Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low. Gradually add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
