Making the Cheese Sauce

1. 1

   Melt the Butter

   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted and bubbly.

2. 2

   Add Flour

   Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a whisk for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux, making sure not to let it brown.

3. 3

   Pour in the Milk

   Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Cheese and Seasonings

   Lower the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the sauce is smooth and creamy, remove it from heat and serve immediately in a cup or bowl as a side.
