Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter or 2 tbsp margarine
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half cream or 1 cup milk, warmed
tabasco sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (can use up to 2 cups)
ground black pepper (optional and to taste)

Directions:

In a large microwave-safe bowl (I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup) microwave the butter for 30 seconds on HIGH.
Add in the warmed cream or milk, Tabasco and flour; whisk vigorously until completely combined.
Add in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes removing a few times during cooking to stir.
Cook until the cheese has melted and the mixture is thick.
If desired season with ground black pepper to taste.
