- 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese*
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add the butter and allow it to melt. Pour in the flour and use a whisk to combine. Stir until smooth.

- Pour into a bowl and enjoy warm!
Notes
*Use freshly shredded cheese instead of store bought bagged cheddar cheese for a creamy sauce.
