Cheddar Cheese Sauce (For Mac and Cheese and Other Recipes)

Ingredients

• 2 TBSP butter
• 2 TBSP flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  ^{I use sharp cheddar cheese, but any kind of cheddar is fine.}

Instructions

In a small to medium pot, over medium heat, melt the butter and bring it to a boil.

While continuously and vigorously stirring, pour in the flour.

Continuously stir for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the milk and stir frequently.

As the milk starts to heat up more and come to a boiling point, stir continuously again while adding the shredded cheese.

Stir for a few minutes, or until the sauce thickens up. It won’t take long.

Remove from the heat and cover with a lid until you are ready to use your cheese sauce.

That’s it! Congratulations, you made a roux (thickening agent made of equal parts butter and flour).
