Ingredients

Servings

Nacho Cheese Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoon butter unsalted at room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoon flour all purpose regular
  • 1 cup milk whole milk or even 2%
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese grated. You can also use monterey jack or a combo

Seasoning and Flavoring

  • 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon cilantro monced
  • 1/2 Tablespoon jalapeño minced
  • 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeno minced
  • 1 Tablespoon scallions minced

Notes

  • If you want your nacho cheese sauce to turn out just right, here are some tips:
  • When you add flour to the melted butter, cook it for at least a minute to get rid of the flour-like taste.
  • The best cheese to use for nacho cheese sauce is medium cheddar. You can use sharp cheddar cheese also, but it can cause the sauce to become too thick or grainy. In such a case, let the sauce simmer on low flame to help melt the cheese and remove the grains.
  • Another pro tip is to hand grate block cheese rather than getting pre-shredded cheese, to avoid artificial taste in your cheese sauce.
  • The best way to store your nacho cheese sauce is to keep it in an air-tight jar and refrigerate it. It might get a bit thick after being refrigerated, but you can microwave it right before using it.
  • I hope this homemade nacho cheese sauce recipe will help you add flavor to your food and wow your friends!
