Gradually add 2 cups of whole milk to the roux, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Once the first 2 cups of milk are incorporated, add the remaining 2 cups of milk slowly while stirring.

Turn off the heat before adding the second cup of milk to prevent thickening too much.

Add seasoning to taste, such as salt, black pepper, and Uncle Steve seasoning.

Add 1/2 stick of Velveeta cheese to the mixture and stir until melted.

Add 1 stick of cream cheese and mix until fully melted and smooth.
