Steps:
- In a large pot saute butter and onion together until onion is soft and translucent. Add flour and stir until all flour is absorbed by butter. Slowly add milk 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Mixture will first get VERY thick then thin out during this process. DO NOT ADD ALL THE MILK AT ONCE! Once all milk has been added, add mustard, salt, thyme, pepper and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Top with additional cheese, paprika or green onions.
CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER
This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.
