MAKING THE SAUCE

  3. Once light brown, reduce heat to low and begin adding the milk slowly with a whisk.
    • Look for a smooth texture, then add more milk
    • Continue the process until all milk is used
  4. Next, add in onion and garlic powder, cooking on medium-low for about five minutes.
    • Look for a thickening of the sauce with all ingredients incorporated together.
