Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons dry aged beef tallow or butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup Scallions sliced
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack or both shredded

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the Tallow or butter and stir in the flour to make a roux. Allow the roux to cook for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring.

2. Add the milk a little at a time, whisking it continuously, allowing the mixture to blend and thicken, about 10-15 minutes. 

3. Add the salt, pepper, jalapeño, Scallions, cheese, and hot sauce. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted.

4. Remove the sauce from the heat and use it immediately.
