Fry 1/2 chopped onion in the oil and butter and when the onions are cooked add salt and pepper to taste and 1 rounded tablespoon flour and stir a couple of minutes then slowly stir in 1 1/2 cups warm milk and cook over low heat until it is saucey. Then add 4 ounces diced ham, and 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (any cheese works). (fyi-You can buy the ham and cheese already diced and already shredded)
