Easy Creamy Cheese Sauce

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup butter (or oil, fat drippings)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
• 3 cups milk
• 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard (optional)
• Tabasco  (optional)

TIPS

• If you don't have white pepper you can use regular black pepper.  It just means you'll have all those visible dots where white pepper would be more invisible.
• Mustard and Tobasco are optional.  Not everyone has those in their cabinet/refridgerator.  If you have them, great!  They add additional dimention to the sauce.
• You can substitute any cheese you prefer to suit your needs.
• Store in an airtight container and refrigerate up to four days.
