Homemade Cheese Sauce

3 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of flour
2 cups of milk
3 cups- 1 lb of sharp cheddar cheese, you can use a number of cheeses for this sauce depending on what you are making, try them out!
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter and olive oil together, whisk in the flour and make a roux. Slowly add in the cheese, but not all of it yet. You want a lower heat while doing this so you don't burn the flour. Start alternating between milk and cheese until you have used all of both, increase the heat to medium and melt the cheese thoroughly. Taste and add more cheese if you want and salt and pepper.  Now there are many variations to this as I said above you can use any cheese that you want to use, but you can also add cream cheese for a creamier taste and a little bit of sour cream. I love to use this cheese with some jalepeno juice and dip fresh homemade pretzels in it. You can also add green chiles and chipolte peppers or just the sauce, but add the chipolte in, in small increments so that you don't burn off your tongue! Adding some tapatio is really yummy too, especially for tacos.
