- Cook while stirring constantly, about 3-5 minutes, until flour and butter are well blended and start to dry slightly.
- Reserve for cheese sauce. Cheese sauce: In a large sauce pan, bring milk to simmer over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the roux.
- Continue to whisk over heat until smooth and sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Saute diced onion in oil over medium heat until soft. Add onion to roux.
- Next add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.

- Begin to add cheddar cheese, gradually, in small amounts.
