Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Test the heat by sprinkling a pinch of flour into the melted butter; it should gently bubble. Whisk in the remaining flour to create a smooth, thick paste, resembling cake frosting. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Time: 1-2 minutes)

02

Step

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Add the spicy brown mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. (Time: 3-4 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly incorporate the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until it's completely melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety. Remember that the sauce will thicken as it cools; if needed, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired dipping consistency. (Time: 2-3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of garlic powder.
A dash of hot sauce can add a delightful kick.
Experiment with different types of cheese! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a little bit of blue cheese can create exciting variations.

    The sauce thickened up perfectly as it cooled. It was the perfect consistency for dipping.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I always have these ingredients on hand, and it's so much better than store-bought cheese sauce.
