- dash of cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. In a small sauce pan, melt butter over low heat.
- Mix in the flour and stir until incorporated. Add the milk and stir well with a whisk.
- Add salt and cayenne pepper for flavor. Continue to cook sauce on low heat until it boils, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Remove pan from heat and add 1 cup of cheese. Stir well until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
