    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add cheddar and swiss cheese, salt, pepper, and mustard powder, and stir until the cheese has melted.
