Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Add butter and let it melt. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder and stir. Sprinkle with tapioca starch and stir roux until blended, it will be thick.

  2. Pour in milk gradually, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring each addition until well combined. Keep stirring to remove clumps. Sauce should be creamy and just under boiling temperature. If it starts to boil, turn Instant Pot® off and set to Keep Warm.

  3. Add Cheddar cheese and stir continuously until cheese has melted and is well combined into the sauce.
