Cheddar Cheese

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Cheese Sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a roux.

2

Add Milk

Slowly add the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

3

Incorporate Cheese

Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

4

Season the Sauce

Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
