- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- 3 cups milk
- ¼ cup diced yellow onion
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Add yellow mustard, milk, onion, paprika, and salt, and whisk constantly to combine until simmering. Once simmering, lower heat just enough to hold the simmer.
