Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it smells slightly nutty and turns a light golden color.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly until there are no more lumps. Continue heating until just before it comes to a boil (do not let it boil vigorously).
Stir in Thunder Rub, cream cheese, grated cheddar, and finely chopped jalapeño. Let melt while stirring until the sauce is smooth & creamy.
Too thick? Add milk a little at a time. Too thin? Stir in a bit more cheddar. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt is usually barely needed).
Keep warm over very low heat or in a water bath, stirring occasionally – this keeps the sauce silky.
Serve immediately with burgers, nachos, chili cheese fries, pulled pork, ribs, enchiladas, Sloppy Joe, or as a dip.
The sauce will thicken as it cools – to serve, gently reheat over low heat while stirring (ideally in a water bath).
Keeps for 2–3 days in the fridge in an airtight container; can be frozen in portions (reheat gently in a water bath).
- Cheese mix: for example, ½ Cheddar + ½ Provolone, or add a smoked cheese for a BBQ twist.
- For extra stretchy cheese, add some mozzarella.
- Let cool until firm, then cut into cubes or strips and use as a filling (e.g., for chicken breast) – or bread & fry for homemade chili cheese nuggets.
