Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 ¼ cups whole milk
1 ½ cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Add butter and let it melt. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder and stir. Sprinkle with tapioca starch and stir roux until blended; it will be thick.
  • Pour in milk gradually, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring each addition until well combined. Keep stirring to remove clumps. Sauce should be creamy and just under boiling temperature. If it starts to boil, turn Instant Pot® off and set to Keep Warm.
  • Add Cheddar cheese and stir continuously until cheese has melted and is well combined into the sauce.
