Ingredients
  

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder (optional, for flavor depth)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated but not boiling.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, turmeric powder, and mustard powder until well blended.

      Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the milk and cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

        Reduce the heat to low, and add the unsalted butter. Stir until melted and fully incorporated.

          Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.

            Remove from heat and pour the cheese sauce into a blender or use an immersion blender to achieve a super smooth consistency if desired.

              Allow to cool slightly before storing. This creamy cheese will thicken more as it cools.
