Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1.75 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and salt until a smooth paste forms for a lump-free sauce.
Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted.
Continue to cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
