1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese -- about 4 ounces


In saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in milk.
