4. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
5. Slowly whisk in milk and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Stir in shredded cheese until melted and smooth.

Tips

• Add caramelized onions for extra sweetness and depth.
• Swap mushrooms for sautéed peppers or jalapeños for heat.
• Use gluten-free fries + gluten-free flour to make this fully gluten-free.
