Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons Butter
* 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
* 2 cups Whole Milk
* 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
* 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
* Salt, to taste
* Pepper, to taste
* Optional Spices: Garlic powder, Paprika, Cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden, creating a roux that will thicken your sauce.
2. Add the Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently.
3. Incorporate the Cheeses: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until fully melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and any optional spices to taste. Mix well and adjust the seasoning as needed.
