Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounce Velveeta or shredded Monterey Jack
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Make Roux: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, while whisking continuously to remove the raw flour taste.
- Finish: Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cheese and cook for another 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Add the hot sauce and stir.
- Serve: Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes
- Make sure when making the roux, to whisk constantly to remove any lumps.
- For a gluten free version, use cornstarch in place of flour.
- Not a fan of hot sauce? Leave it out! I find it adds a nice kick of flavor, but the choice is yours.
- After your nacho cheese sauce has cooled to room temperature, transfer it into an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, and then reheated in a saucepan over low heat when ready to use.
- I don't recommend freezing this sauce as the consistency, texture and flavor will change.
