Melt Butter: Start by melting unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat. It creates that flavorful foundation for your sauce.
Add Cream: Slowly pour in heavy cream, whisking continuously to combine with the butter and avoid separation.
Add Cheddar: Whisk in shredded cheddar cheese one handful at a time, stirring it in as it melts so that the texture stays velvety smooth.
Season Well: Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir to bring flavors to harmony.
Simmer: For about 1-2 minute let the sauce cook on low heat until it becomes thick and glossy.
Serve: Take off heat, let rest for another minute or two, then serve warm on meat, veggies, or keto sides.
