Directions
Infused Cheese Sauce
- Melt the Infused Butter in a small sauce pot.
- Add the flour, then heat and whisk the butter and flour together until they become bubbly and foamy. Continue to cook and whisk the bubbly mixture for about 60 seconds.
- Whisk in the infused milk, then turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to come to a simmer while continuing to whisk.
- When it reaches a simmer, the mixture will begin to thicken. Once it's thick enough to coat a spoon, turn off the heat.
- Stir in the cheese one handful at a time, until fully melted into the sauce.
- After all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the salt and chili powder.
