- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk while whisking consistently. Once the milk is incorporated, add the cream cheese and the cheddar cheese, and stir continuously until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Season to taste.
