1
Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it's completely liquefied.
2
Add Flour
Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste (roux).
3
Incorporate Milk
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

4
Add Cheddar and Parmesan
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar and grated parmesan cheese to the thickened sauce. Stir until the cheeses are 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 and taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
