In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt over medium heat. Add flour, then whisk and cook for a minute. Stir in salt, milk, and pepper. Transfer everything into the crockpot together with the shredded cheese. Stir to combine.

Cover and seal the pot once more, then cook for another 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted completely.

Serve and enjoy!
