Creamy Cheesy Delight That’ll Wow Your Family

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux (this helps thicken the sauce).
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the Cheese:

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Combine and Serve:

Pour the creamy cheese sauce over your desired dish—whether it’s pasta, steamed vegetables, potatoes, or a casserole. Stir to coat evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and an added fresh flavor.
Optional Extra:

For an added twist, you can bake the cheesy dish at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
