Roux gone wrong in queso dip...is there any way to save it?

I made queso for the first time (not rotel dip), and I made a roux using flour and butter as the recipe called for. I'm guessing I didn't cook it long enough because the queso tastes floury. Is there any way to get rid of the floury taste and save this batch? I really don't want to waste it. I've already tried adding more milk, cheese, and seasoning to mask it, but the flour is still very discernible.

you don't want to be consuming undercooked flour as it can have undesirable organisms. Perhaps you can empty it back into the cooking pot and reheat it, stirring until bubbly then continue to cook it for several minutes. Hoping someone else who knows about food safety will chime in. But, better safe than sorry....

I tried cooking it longer, but it didn't help. I also made a new batch, making sure to cook the flour longer, but it too has the floury taste. I can only assume that the original recipe calls for too much flour to begin with. I just wonder, now that I have two batches (!), is there anything I can do to mask that taste...?
