Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • .5 tsp chili powder
  • .5 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a small heavy bottom dutch oven on medium heat. Once melted, whisk in flour until smooth and creamy.

  • If queso begins to thicken while serving, reheat with a few tablespoons of milk whisked into mixture.
