Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild, depending on preference
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until a smooth paste forms.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly before serving with pretzels.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
