Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup tomatos chopped - optional
- jalapeño chopped - optional, to taste
- 1/2 cup salsa optional - see site for recipe
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy sauce pan, add flour until it bubbles.
- Add the milk, blend flour and butter mixture to ensure no lumps and let cook for about 5 - 10 min to thicken and reduce the flour taste.
- Add the cheddar cheese and reduce heat stirring constantly to melt all the cheese. Add the optional ingredents and serve with chips or in other tex-mex recipes.
- note: If you use the salsa as an optional ingredient then you probably don't need to add the optional tomatoes to your finished recipe.
