Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble slightly.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to make a roux. Ensure the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes fragrant but not browned.
-
Slowly add the milk to the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Once the milk is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken, add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne, if desired, for a hint of heat.
-
Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt completely and create a smooth and velvety cheese sauce.
-
Continue to cook the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently until it reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can whisk in a little more milk to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
-
Season the nacho cheese sauce with salt to taste and adjust any seasonings if necessary.
-
Once the sauce is smooth, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, remove it from the heat and serve immediately over your favorite snacks, nachos, or drizzle it on veggies for a tasty twist.
