butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine can be a more budget-friendly alternative.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix to form a roux, cooking until it turns brown but not burnt.

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring it incorporates smoothly without lumps.

Add a few dashes of onion powder and garlic powder to the mixture.

Once the sauce thickens, incorporate the cheeses, starting with 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.

If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out as needed.
