Cheese Sauce Base
Method
Making the Cheese Sauce
Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
Add Flour
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
Incorporate Milk
Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
Add Cheeses
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese, mixing until both cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the Sauce
Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Serve
Remove the cheese sauce from heat and serve immediately with your favorite dishes, such as nachos, pasta, or vegetables.
