  • Pot
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pound brussels sprouts fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until you have a smooth sauce.
