Remove from heat; keep warm.
  2. Cheddar Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour, then cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, salt and mustard powder and cook for about 5 minutes or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in cheese until melted.

Tips

If you love cheese and don’t mind the mess, softer buns will absorb more Cheddar sauce!
