Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan, then whisk in the flour to create a light roux. Cook out the roux for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.
2. Add in 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to make sure the sauce is smooth. It should be thick and coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Then slowly incorporate your cheese - I used sharp cheddar, but you can use any combination of cheeses you like. Mix until a smooth sauce forms.
4. Add 1 tbsp of yellow mustard (optional)
