Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups whole milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Heat butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; whisk flour into melted butter until smooth. Slowly pour milk into flour mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in onion powder and garlic powder; simmer for 2 minutes. Add Monterey Jack cheese while stirring constantly until melted, about 5 more minutes.

Cook's Note:

Saute onion and garlic with butter instead of using powders, or add chiles, jalapenos, or tomatoes to taste.
