Preheat your oven to 375°F. While the onions are caramelizing, prepare the cheese sauce. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually whisk in 2 cups warm milk until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
