cheese grater

Ingredients

1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
1 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
salt to taste

Instructions

Melt butter over low heat.
Add flour and whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour in milk while stirring continuously.
Let the mixture thicken slightly.
Add shredded cheeses gradually while stirring.

Notes

Always use low heat and add cheese gradually to prevent clumping. For extra flavor, add jalapeños, cumin, or paprika. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
